Hi,

Replacing the vacuum brake booster isn't a bad job. It will require that you first remove the brake master cylinder, but that isn't too hard. The worst part of the job is working under the dash to unbolt the booster. It gets a bit tight. LOL

Regardless, if you look at the attachments below, they include the directions and pictures specific to your vehicle for replacement.

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

Take care,

Joe
