jcoffey Posted October 18, 2014 Report Posted October 18, 2014 My retractable step in not working. Looks as if the seal is broken that seals the servo assy and the piston assy. Has anyone had any experience with this? Can you still get the rubber seal? Any one experiment with any other methods of sealing this? Perhaps gasket maker or something of this nature. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks Joe Mooney N3534N
ken66770 Posted October 18, 2014 Report Posted October 18, 2014 I replaced the servo last year from Brittain. You can no longer buy just the boot. If I recall correctly the cost was around $160 and I had to send the old core back to Brittain. HTH. Ken
Rhumbline Posted October 19, 2014 Report Posted October 19, 2014 Coincidentally, I just spoke with Brittain a couple of days ago. I've been on the waiting list for getting a reconditioned retraction servo for awhile now as they've had problems with the mold currently in use. Apparently they're having a new mold made and the estimate is that it may be a couple more months before they're available. It seems a significant number of Bonanzas use the same servo so we're not the only ones anxiously waiting.
