And what else can go wrong?
Discussion
Purchased this a little while ago, it looked in very good condition but had a some gasket goo around the mounting stud area.
The car has been in the garage all of the time and when I hooked up the vacuum line there was a hiss. I tried to chase the source and while investigating I found the hiss stopped when I pressed the brake pedal! We performed a smoke test and the footwell filled with smoke. So set out to dismantle the servo and found I could only undo 3 nuts, the other just turned (it did loosen 3 or 4 turns first). I then had to cut the stud - thankfully the 3 or 4 turns allowed an air hacksaw in.
The failed stud is obvious
