First Porsche - brake pedal assembly question

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!



 
Give it a good hover out first so that you can see, they do get lots of muck down there over the years as far as I can remember there are just two 13mm nuts hold the pedels down there should also be a coil return spring at the base that I have known to break. Its not a dificult job but can take some time .Regards Berny.
 
Thanks for that. Someone pointed me to a whole article about the procedure at http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Mult_pedal_cluster/Mult_pedal_cluster.htm

Pretty neat. I will keep an eye-out for that broken spring...
 
Hi James.

Did we meet at Oulton Park last Wednesday? I think you were looking at my old yellow E and chatting to Chris and I. Put 911T and photograher together and hopefully made the right deduction.

Hi Ian,

We sure did! I was shooting Ninemeister's supercharged 968 for GT. Amazing car. Loved your E, too. What a great day.
