Dont need to disconnect any brake lines or mess with the brake system at all. Just find a way to support the master cylinder. I used a ratchet strap through the hood support cross brace on the drivers side. Disconnect 2 bolts that hold the master to the booster. Slide master cylinder forward a little to give you some room. Pull check valve. And remove 4 bolts on back of booster. Pull booster, careful with the pushrod that goes into the booster. Align pushrod with new booster reinstall 4 bolts. Slide master cylinder back and reinstall 2 bolts. Make sure to use a new gasket if your old one is trashed. Reconnect check valve. Done.
will do! I haven't driven it yet, so can't really say how the brake pedal feel is now that the check valve is fixed. I am playing around with some other tuning issues now that the vacuum lines are better sorted.
