[ROVERNET - UK] Coolant choice

[Eric Russell]

Steve,
You may be past this suggestion:
Once upon a time, I determined that the rear servo was
not releasing the rear brakes.  I opened the rear
servo air control valve and determined that it was not
easily moving up and down.  I place a rag over the
whole assembly and rammed down on the brake pedal. 
The air control valve piston became lodged in the rag.
 I noticed that the air control valve cylinder and
piston both had minor surface rust.  Being prepared to
remove, repair and refit the servo I:
1.  Wrapped 1000 wt. wet and dry paper around a
pencil.  
2.  I moistened the paper with brake fluid.
3.  I "honed" the cylinder noticing the rust dust on
the paper.
4.  Using brake fluid and a "Q-Tip", I cleaned out the
cylinder.
5.  I used 1000 wt paper on the piston.
6.  I moistened the rubber seal with brake fluid,
reassembled everything.
7.  Success!  Everything worked and kept working.
