brake booster removal - Aussie V8 | Holden - Ford

fat_49x · 25-08-2008, 05:13 PM

guys quick question, i have removed the 2 bolts on the booster itself, and also removed the split pin and washer from the brake pedal and seperated it from the pedal itself and still cant get the booster off, is there anything else i need to remove, or is it just really stuck on with that urothane stuff or however you spell it. thanks guys

aint there 4 bolts?

If so that would explain the difficulty in removal lol.

There are 4 nuts inside the car on the firewall that you need to undo too.
Sounds like you,ve only undone the master cylinder and the clevis on the brake pedal.
You will have fun undoing those 4 nuts on the firewall ... good luck.

i heard that holden actually built toranas around the brake booster, just like they built Q-WB's around the box cross member. this should be a fun experiance

Its possible, I found short ring spanners the best option. Should be half inch (edit - maybe 9/16 actually...), you need to go by feel as you can't really see the top ones.
