After locating a hydroboost from a 1989 chevy. I decide to undertake the swap. Now I will be learning as i go so please bear with me.
This is the hydro unit i picked up. What is not pictured is the master cylinder which ill pulled off after cleaning it.
1. Disconnect the battery.
2. Locate the brake booster on the driver's side of the firewall inside the engine bay. It will be just behind the brake master cylinder.
3. Disconnect the vacuum line from the power booster by pulling the bung out of the vacuum booster.
4. Then slide the rear abs computer off of the bracket. To allow for easier access to the two bolt that connect the master cylinder to the power booster. I opted on leaving the computer plugged in due to the brittle connecters.
5. Remove the two bolts that connect the master cylinder to the power booster. Be careful not to put any stress on the brake lines connected to the master cylinder. Slide the master cylinder forward and secure the master cylinder so it is not resting on the brake lines. I used a wire coat hanger for this.
6.Disconnect the brake pedal pushrod from the brake pedal from inside the passenger compartment by removing the retaining clip and unbolting the 9/16 nut. Then slide the pushrod off from the pedal. Careful not to loose the two washers.
