Hey Guys, I need to install a new booster and master cylinder. My car has factory AC and it is tough to get to the bolts underneath the dash. Has anyone else done this? Any advice?
 
air ratchet is your friend.i have also pulled the dash,depending on the car,to get a straight shot at the nuts.
 
I just got done replacing the m/c and booster on my '66 Charger.

A PITA but doable. Being kinda tall (6'2"), 67 years old with bad back and worn out knees didn't help!!

All four bolts are reachable but require a deep socket and different length extensions.

If you run into trouble, just ask and maybe I can be of help.

The top right nut is the most difficult.

I have a 6' extension that the socket end is slightly tapered on all 4 sides that allows the socket to move just enough to catch the nut.

A swivel will work, just use some tape on the swivel to prevent it from slopping around.

Thanks guys, I gave up and left the old one in and it works! When I go to change it at least I know how to do it now!
