Finished the install. Took about four hours. Not too bad. I'll post pics later. I'm beat. Still need to flush the brake lines. Got a new mityvac silver line.

Yeah I think I had vacuum but it took a long time to pump down. When I replaced the little $100 valve it pulled down very quickly. You know, I really thought about getting a little snap ring and trying to JB weld that valve back together. It was pricey for what it is. However I figured I would treat myself to a new check valve...and booster, master cylinder, sway bar bushing, upper control arm.

The big takeaway from pulling the booster is use a 13mm gear wrench to take out that blind nut up in the corner. It really made it a lot easier. It has a really fine pawl so you can work in the limited space...two clicks per swing but that is all it took. I used the ones that don't have the switch on them, you just flip them for forward and backward.

Ok, more in the morning. Good night.
