'84 Brake Booster done.
It wasn't as hard as I'd feared. I found that a 3/8" ratchet with two 6" extensions and a universal joint makes pretty short work of the inside bolts. I still had a headache from working upside down, but it only took about 10 minutes to get the bolts out after I figured out the stack o' adapters thing.
Wow. Talk about a difference. Brakes work instantly with very little pressure. In other words, what you should be expecting normally!
And the car doesn't sound "lumpy" until it warms up anymore. I assume that new booster plugged a heck of a vacuum leak.
