Lower shock absorber mounting bolt 8.5
REMOVAL
With the vehicle raised so its wheels hang free, re-
move the shock absorber on the side in question.
Remove the bar from the side, using tool

REFITTING
In order to position the suspension arm so that the
bar may be correctly positioned, a tool must be
locally made.
ANut, diameter 14 mm
BNut, diameter 12 mm
CThreaded rod, diameter 12 mm - length 660
mm
DBracket from flat sheet 30 x 5 mm
E 12 x 60 mm bolt, cut to a length of 20 mm

Preset the tool to obtain dimension "X".
X = 402 mm
Fit the tool in place of the shock absorber.

Coat the splines of the bar with MOLYKOTE BR2,
fit it into the bearing and the suspension arm, and
try, by rotating the rod, to find the position where
it fits freely into the splines of the suspension arm
and the bearing.
Remove the tool and refit the shock absorber.
Return the vehicle to its wheels and measure the
underbody heights (see section "Underbody
heights - Tubular rear axle").
Check and adjust if necessary:
- the braking compensator,
- the headlights.

Hydraulic pipe unions 1.7
Mounting nut on brake servo 1.8
REMOVAL
Disconnect the battery.
Disconnect the brake fluid level detector
connector.
Remove the injection computer (depending on
version).
Release the PAS reservoir and move it to the side,
towards the engine.
Drain and remove, by pulling up, the brake fluid
reservoir (take care to catch the fluid which will
run out).
Remove:
- the pipes and note their positions,
- the two mounting nuts on the brake servo.
REFITTING
Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Check the length of the pushrod.
Dimension X = 22.3 mm.
Depending on model, adjust using pin (P).

NOTE : these vehicles have a master cylinder
which is integral to the brake servo. Sealing of the
brake servo is directly linked to that of the master
cylinder. During any operation, a new seal (A)
must be fitted.
Fit the master cylinder in alignment with the
brake servo so that pushrod pin (P) enters
correctly into the master cylinder housing.
