Hydroboost Conversion For Noobs

[CrustyJunker]

Alright, my power brake booster went bad and I want to convert to Hydroboost. Couldn't really find anything specific in the search function and I see stuff all over the net for NBS trucks and kits for OOBS trucks.

So, I wanted to start a noob thread on how to do this on an OBS truck and what's needed. It's going on a '96 Chevy Tahoe. Any tips, tricks, and part numbers would be spectacular.

Thanks guys!

You guys are awesome. Guess I didn't look hard enough. Administrator, could you delete this post then?

Thanks.

Figured I'd post an update. Ended up putting on an AutoZone remanufactured vacuum booster on for now since I had only one day off work. I sprayed some 'Kroil on the power steering lines, but I have yet to try to see if they free up. Old booster was a pain to remove, a fight to the end to get those nuts off the firewall, and that stupid clip on the brake pedal that I failed to have the proper tool to remove. After some frustration I broke it off compliments of a screwdriver. Doesn't help that it got up to 102˚ today and 100˚ yesterday and no where to work on my stuff besides a driveway.

I still do intend going hydroboost, because the brakes are as good as they ever were (not so good). At 60 hours a week and no sleep...I digress. Once again, another "Yeah...I'm doin' this! ...Yeah, I didn't do it either."
