brake booster removal

hello all

would like to pass on some awesome info to u all...

i had to swap my brake booster the other day and saw that the brake pedal was in the way..with just one bolt holding it...

so i took the pedal assembly out and boom...was so very easy to get to the 4 nuts with no extension or u-joint...just a ratchet and a deep socket (15mm)

just wanted to pass along a cool tip for u all...and it allows u to give the pedal arm a new paintjob too

Great tip, since I'll be doing a conversion to manual brakes and eliminating the booster all together! (Not enough vacuum because of camshaft, weight removal, and clean up under hood)
