Hi,

Replacing the vacuum brake booster isn't too hard to complete. However, you will need to first remove the brake master cylinder first. The worst part of the job is unbolting the booster. It is done from under the dash on the driver's side. It is tight.

If you look at the attached pics below, they include the directions and pictures specific to your vehicle for removal and replacement. Follow them to replace the brake booster.

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

Take care,

See pics below.
