No pics....

But the change is pretty easy. There are 2 bolts holding the complete assembly to the booster. So drain the fluid into a plastic container. Watch spillage on your paint, brake fluid might as well be called paint stripper. Then disconnect the 2 brake lines coming out the side and push them out of the way. The lines should flex enough that they won't break, just push easy, and make sure they aren't rusty. Then unbolt the master cylinder and resevoir. Comes free pretty easily. Get another one from Napa or autozone and turn in your old one for the core deposit.

uhh, or you could just pull the old one off, and press the new one on.

just be sure not to spill brake fluid.

and if you let any air in the master cyl, you will need to bench bleed it. if your careful and you let some fluid stay in it, you wont have to do that though
