DIY e32 Brake servo booster repair kit

Hi Forum Members,

For the e32,e24,e28. 735 only,533,535,m535,m5,633,635,m635,m6,

I now have all of the interior components for the complete re-build of the Brake Servo (booster).
I have received the new teflon interior high pressure piston o-rings.
I installed these new parts into my M6 over the weekend.
The road test was a success, all of the parts work as they should!

The new up-graded kit includes the 5 internal rubber o-rings, the 2 teflon piston o-rings, and a new 9.5mm ID shaft seal.

I have also up-graded the Picasa Link, I took more photos and added more captions to show the correct method that I used in the assembly of the booster.

The new price is $24.95 + shipping $1.95 USA, TOTAL $26.90 USD.

International is also $24.95 + shipping $3.95 International TOTAL $28.90 USD.

Here this the link below to the DIY, step by step instruction, of the booster repair.

Please read the captions at the bottom of each photo.

DIY Hydraulic brake servo booster repair kit and REPAIR SERVICE

Hi Forum Members,

For the following cars, that have a Hydraulic brake servo booster.

e28,533,535,m535,m5;
e24,633,635,m635,m6,L6;
e32,735,750;
e23,728,730,733,735,745;

This Do It Yourself (DIY) is to re-build the Brake Servo Booster # 34331156925.
On the e23 it is part # 34331152825.
The e23,e24,e28,e32 735 all of the 10 piece interior repair kit are identical., for both part numbers.

The e32 750 has a different part # 34331161772,
It uses a shaft seal instead of an o-ring at the firewall end. And is slightly more expensive.

I recently rebuilt another hydraulic brake servo booster, and I was amazed at how the rubber o-rings were deformed.
They are now an oblong shape. The large o-ring 38.0mm x 3.0mm, at the front of the booster. It now measures 2.55mm high instead of 3mm.
And is 3.28mm thick, were it should be again be 3.0mm. And it is noticeably more brittle. The smallest o-ring was brittle and it broke when removed.

Special note! Please read! Some BAD boosters are being sold

Hello e32 owners,

Parts Geek and its supplier A-1 Cardone, are selling bad rebuilt hydraulic brake boosters.

I had a client of mine who sent me a leaking booster. When I opened it up to repair, I noticed that it had an incorrect shaft seal installed.

On top of that, the shaft seal was installed up-side down, and missing the garter spring.

My client told me that his first Cardone from Parts Geek leaked as soon as it was installed, he sent it back to Parts Geek and they sent him another.

When he installed the second one, it also leaked.
And thats when he called me, and I used my rebuild service and sent him one of my rebuilt spares.

When I received his core back, I set to rebuild it for the next client.
I was shocked, the shaft seal was upside down, I then pressed the shaft seal out of the black plastic cup. The shaft seal specs are 9.5mm i.d. x 22.0mm o.d. and thickness of 6mm.
The A-1 Cardone is 10.0 i.d., way too big. It is made in China by YEI Shien, part #A19168 10x22x6.
Because it was in backwards the garter spring came off, or was never there in the first place.
I am going to also attach some photos, of the suspect seal front and back, and what a garter spring looks like.

Here is my link, booster repair kit and rebuild service. https://picasaweb.google.com/1135658...nZ_Z7f6JrUyQE#

Thank you,
