its quite easy but messy

you need to drain the brake fluid first,
then simple as unplug brake switch, unbolt the brake lines, front mount braket and the two bolts too the brake booster

replace with new one and bleed the brakes,
hour or 2 it should take

i know that but i really cant be bothered and with heaps of work now i dont have that time so ill just drop it off at a mechanic. so im probably looking at $150 labor am i correct ?
