    Is there write up or videos on changing the booster. My car had a engine fire from my headers. Can't figure out how the booster goes on

    most bolt on from the inside the car, take the mater off the booster and the vac tube.

    inside un clip the rod from the brake pedal, and unbolt the 4 booster bolts from the firewall. should come right off.

    That's the thing when mine fell off because of the fire there were no bolts.

    im not finding many pics of it. but this one looks to have a locking lever maybe of some sort.



    the booster needs to be tight and secure as that rod there hooks to the brake pedal, when you push the brakes, that rod pushes into the booster then the master.

    found at this link, its cheap at 25 bucks too. http://www.ebay.com/itm/97-98-99-00-...-/120962010752

    does that leaver move, and move anything else?

    seems you need to lock it to the fire wall some how. maybe its a put it in and turn it a little one way then it locks?

    if yours fell out during the fire. id check the new one next to the old one, then see if maybe the firewall is damaged.
