I don't see how you could possibly reach both screws holding the motor with it still attached to the vehicle??
Anyway, this video shows exactly what needs to be done (thanks JURONIN!):

Seems pretty straight forward, just remove the unit, replace the motor, re-install. I'll just need to bleed the brakes once it's re-installed.
Great! I can knock it out this Saturday.
..... BUT I noticed signs of a leak, please see pics.
The leak appears to be on the OPPOSITE SIDE of the accumulator, around the bottom of the black box.
So, now I am stuck again because I don't know what is leaking/what other part(s) I need.
Any ideas?
(Also thanks for the heads up on the fuse! Will keep that in mind). |
Thanks for the youtube link,
if your motor is toast, it was likely caused by a leaking accumulator, so changing just the motor alone, would be postponing the evil day, i think buying a complete used unit will be a better option, and keep your failed unit for spares/back up.
btw, did you check the 40amp fuse, that powers the motor to be sure its not shorted out??
