I am rebuilding the brake hydraulics on my '71 GT-6. This time around I
decided to rebuild the PDWA also since I know that I have not serviced it in the
ten years that I have had the car. THe PDWA (my guess at the correct name -
assembly that detects and lights an idiot bulb on the dash when there is an
imbalance between the front and rear brakes) needs rebuilding also. I purchased
o-rings from someone on the list last summer or fall. I removed the switch and
the two plugs on the ends but am unable to get the shuttle (sliding member) out
of the housing - it appears to be corroded in place. Should the shuttle slide
right out? The visible ends of the shuttle have what appears to be a
screwdriver slot - do I need to unscrew this prior to forcing the shuttle to
move? I tapped lightly with a drift and a small mallet but the shuttle did not
move. Or can I use one of my BFHs and a drift and just convince the shuttle to
budge?
BTW, I tried to send this message out to the list earlier today. The e-mail
system here at work seems quite selective lately. If this is a double posting
my apologies.
