Brake Booster Nightmare

[GBinAZ]

I am trying to replace my brake booster and is not going well.

Doing the master cylinder too, so that is out of they way. I had to disconnect two ABS lines, and use a bar to pry the old booster out.

Now I cant get the new one in. Its an OEM replacement part so I don't want to risk damaging it.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I am in Gilbert, so if you're in the east valley and hear someone cursing and crying its me.

Did you unbolt the bracket on the firewall? If you take it off from the inside it makes the job easy

No I did not. I did know that was possible, I can't see how it comes loose.

You are talking about the bronze colored bracket that has a black box attached to it and the brake light switch on it, right ?

Here is what I did: Post #4

RTH: Swapping the brake booster on a 95 without disconnecting hardlines?

This is great info.

Thanks!

I removed driver side engine mount bolt, jacked up the engine slightly, that gave me the needed extra room to pull the booster out without using pry bar.
