'82 Pug 505 How to remove brake vacuum booster?

Peugeot 505 1982

I am trying to replace the clutch master cyclinder and removing the
brake booster is problematic. There is 1 bolt at the bottom that
appears impossible to remove due to the proximity of the left wheel
housing.

Has anyone replaced their master clutch cylinder and tell me the best
way to do it?

Thanks!

It's been a good few years since I did one of these on a 505, but as
far as I can recall I didn't remove the brake servo to do a clutch
master cylinder. Just disconnect from the pedal and remove the two
fixing bolts for the cylinder under the servo. Then disconnect the
pipe to the slave cylinder. Of course I work on right hand drive cars
here. May be different on LHD!
The problem comes when you try to bleed the system. Let me know when
you get to that stage and I'll tell you how I do it.

 

Just take your time if you are going todo it..

 

Thanks Nigel,

I brought in a mechanic, it took over 3 hours for 2 of us to
change..... had to remove the vacuum booster to access the outboard
nut on the master cylinder.

Due to the age a lot of the plastic cowling disintegrated in the
process, and rthe leaky clutch master spewed fluid all under my rugs
etc.

Just glad it's done, thanks for your reply!

Cheers,
