Brake Booster upper right bolt the easy way!

[Durandal25]

Team,

I've seen this issue pop up several times for folks wanting to swap out a booster or to upgrade to a disc system. The upper right bolt is too close to the brake pedal mount to effectively get a deep socket, and a universal joint on it.

Solution: Take a 1/2 deep socket (1/4 in drive) and place on the nut by hand....you may have to unbolt the left windshield washer arm cotter pin and lift it up, now down....then feed a 1/4 socket extender through the bracket into the socket. you then can add an adapter to the female end and go nuts on the sum'bitch. I got mine off and it was a salty bugger. I'll attach a pic of the rig I used.

I found standing on my head contorted around the steering column does the trick too!

I’m still in my 40’s. No chiropractor visits after that maneuver yet.

Yes, this has been the standard protocol, for me, for years, for several things. Lol, i have my drivers seat still out, so that i may be upside down for behind dash repairs.

well this way you just need to lower the column and straight to it
