Hendog 10 Report post Posted April 21, 2008 So I'm replacing my master cyl, power front disc brakes, and the master cyl wont come out because it won't clear the shock tower. my chilton manual says you can remove it without removing the power booster, but i'm thinking otherwise. don't really want to take out the booster if i don't need to. anyone of you guys know the answer to this problem?

d.reese 13 Report post Posted April 22, 2008 Cool, glad you got it! Thats a tight area for sure. What kind of column you going back with? Are you going to do a rack and pinion? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hendog 10 Report post Posted April 24, 2008 Replaced the booster not the column, and already have a randalls rack. It works great. As far as the mas cyl goes, this has been frustrating. Was trying to get away with only enough brake work to get by till I have enough money saved to do an upgrade. It's not working. Really just need to do a complete brake job. Two jobs I prefer to farm out to others, exhaust and BRAKES. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
