I have just bought myself a 1972 911T. It has a few small issues, the biggest of which is the brakes. The calipers are nearly brand new, but the car has been standing a few years and the brake pedal doesn't return after being pressed down. The previous owner reckoned the calipers had seized, but I discovered that if you pull the pedal back again, the brakes un-jam.
I worked my way down into the pedal assembly and found a long-abandoned and disintegrating wasps-nest behind the plyboard. I think the dusty mess is causing the pedal mechanism to jam. A heavy dose of WD-40 has loosened things up a bit, but I'd like to disassemble the 'pedal box' and re-lubricate it all. Does anyone know of a guide to correctly removing the assembly?
So looking forward to getting this car on the road. You advice is much appreciated!
