Howdy! I learned a neat trick that is an option to clamping the housing. Use vacuum at 25 - 30 # like for air conditioning. Hook it up to the vacuum port that goes to the engine. Mount one side of the housing in a vice, twist the top half with a BIG breaker bar to get the cam locks released, and then slowly bleed down the vacuum and the inner spring will open the can right up. After replacing the inards, turn on the vacuum first, then set the top on using body weight to compress the spring. Once the seals make contact, the pump will compress the rubber gasket enough to allow you to engage the camlocks. This will work for the older brake boosters that just have a barrel hoop style ring holding it together. I have done a 72 FJ-40, and a 76 FJ-55 this way. JohnI am waiting for the reassembly verbiage.
Mine always is filled with 4 letter words..
I HATE boosters..

I've also included a pix "trekker" (fellow MUD member) supplied of himself in one of his recent posts. Judging from the pix I'm sure he'll be able to supply you with used syringes like mine.
That's not me... I was just poking a little fun in my post while installing my transmission! For the record, this is Gregg Valentino. He is in the Guinness Book of Records as the man with the biggest biceps in the World. His arms have a circumference of 28 inches... I'm really a skinney bugger.
Not back to your regular scheduled program!
