[QUOTE="BJ1, post: 573806, member: 355"] Had this issue with repro servos on a couple of buses. It's related to the adjustable pushrod INSIDE the servo, not the adjustment outside. I did a 'how to' for Schofields which is now on their website here [url]http://www.alanhschofield.com/ourparts/prod_3804516-Brake-Servo-Unit-7174-211611905.html[/url] These servos are excellent when the internal pushrod is adjusted correctly. If not, the front brakes will drag producing the heat that's causing your problem. You also need to bleed the system using a pressurised bleeder. The usual pedal pumping method won't get all the air out from Varga m/cylinders with the servo attached. [/QUOTE]
