Switches are long gone

You won't buy a new one

But while out you should be able to test it

 

Long ago when I worked for the brake shops - 15 yrs ago

We got our o-rings from bearing services and their part # was BS010

More LJ distribution block questions

,I am replacing brakes on my LJ and am wondering how to remove the shuttle/piston from the brake fail block to replace the o rings.

I have blocked one port and put air onto the other port, hoping the shuttle would be pushed out. It doesn't move but the air is blowing past the shuttle. It seems the shuttle is jammed.

Whats the best way to

What's the best way to get the shuttle out and renew the o-rings?

Next question is with the actual switch - is this switch extended or retracted? It is jammed also. IMG_0511 | brakefail switch | Smiling | Flickr

Thanks in advance, Luke

You need to physically yank the valve out of the centre of the unit

And free up the switch so it moves

 

Soak in metho for awhile

Hi Gents,

Problem solved!, I found the info in another thread, and pushed out the shuttle, with a 2mm punch through the front brake fitting.

 

Also i freed up the plunger on the switch and it now tests good. (switch open with plunger retracted and closed with the plunger extended.)

Cheers,

Luke
