Replacing a brake booster

[ukiltmybrutha]

I have changed brake master cylinders before, but have never changed a brake booster before.

Will I lose brake fluid during the change? Is it difficult to change?

Thanks

Hello, if you are changing a vacume type booster and not the master cylinder then no you won't even have to touch the brake fluid. First unbolt the 2 nut's that hold on the master cylinder to the booster and then slide the master cylinder off of the studs, there is enough flex in the brake lines to let it come off I have done this several times. Next unhook the vacume hose, then go inside and remove the brake pedal clip and brake switch then slide the pushrod off of the pedal next there are 4 15mm nut's that hold the booster to the firewall they can be a pain to get to but I use a 2ft. extension with a wobble on the end and remove the four nut's then remove the booster from the firewall, install is the reverse procedure.

Thanks for the help. I think you can get ones on fleabay that aren't too badly priced.
