I've got a '97 v6 and that brake booster's gonna die! :P
I'm taking a bit of a break since it started to rain, but I dont know if
I'm even going to get another shot at it today. I think my crappy
durabilt toolset has a bit to do with the relative complexity of the
removal... I can't get the darned socket to come off the plugs once
I've got the plug in. Huge pain in the butt!
Thanks for the assist -- if you know how to do it on a 97, that might
just be what I have to do!

| Not sure what year DAK you've got, but the 2K FSM says there's a way to do
| it...
| 1. Remove the master cylinder
| 2. Dicconnect the vacuum lines at the booster
| 3. Remove the clip securing the booster push rod to the brake pedal
(in cab)
| 4. Remove the nuts from the booster mounting studs (also in cab)
| 5. Remove the booster, spacer and gaskets from the front cowl panel
|
| No mention of special tools...
| If you're gonna perform the above procedure, e-mail me & I'll send you the
| reassembly steps & associated torque values...
