Hi,

Replacing the brake booster isn't too hard. However, the brake master cylinder will need to be removed and the pushrod between the booster and the brake pedal will need to be disconnected. The most difficult part is accessing the retaining bolts for the booster. They are under the dash and it can be tight to work there.

If you look at the attached pictures below, they provide the directions specific to your vehicle for the replacement of the vacuum brake booster.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
