    Default changing brake booster and cylinder

    hey guys just got myself a vl turbo diff and 1" master cylinder and turbo brake booster. just wondering how you change the booster and cylinder? can you change it buy the 4 bolts on the back? or do you need to locate where the 2 are behind the dash and change it from there? cheers.

    2 nuts that go on to the 2 studs that go through the firewall to inside the cabin each side of the pushrod.They are hard to get to so you might need a flexible drive with a universal to get around the steering column and of course you have to remove the spring clip and washer securing the booster pushrod to the pedal arm.

    thanks for that and thanks for the quick replys. just finished putting the diff in and adjusted handbrake. so all i got left is to put the booster and master on, bleed the brakes. and when the cars back on the ground fill the diff so i wont overfill it. cheers.

    Just remember to pre bleed the master cylinder before you fit it, that way there is less air to bleed out of the rest of the system.
