Bass ackwards booster Q...

OK, I've never really followed along on all the 'how do i install a booster' threads, and after a search, I know nothing more than I did 10 min ago. (Does anyone have good luck with the search, I NEVER get what i am looking for, even if I put in the actual name of the thread)
Anyways, I have power brakes, and a messed up booster. I'm sick of getting used ones that are either blown from the get go, or blow out a few months later. (Always a bad sign when you get one and pour the brake fluid out of it on the floor when you unpack it.) And if you've priced a new one.... screw that. It blows the Mc Budget.
So, what does it take to get rid of the stupid thing all together? I know the master cylinder has the same part number for power, and non power... So I'm good there.
Am I able to flex and manuver the brake lines enough to do it, or will i be getting out my brake line kinker?
What else is there. I remember something about mocing the rod on the pedal, can this be done with the parts that are on my truck right now?


I've had a truck with manual brakes, and IMO, it wasn't all that bad. I was able to flat spot the tires at will, and there was no "ugly booster" to look at. Plus, never had any booster issues with that one either...for obviouse reasons.

Don't try and sell me a booster, onless it is a remaned unit that you got 2 years ago, has no fluid in it, and are willing to part with it for 50 bucks.

Didn't think so.

So, what's the steps, and do I need any parts to remove this worthles option.
