Brake Booster
I just spent the day putting a new power brake booster in the 75. What a pain. I'm totally spent. Is there anything more difficult to do than this?
I don't think I'd want to do this even if I was paid.https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...lies/smash.gif

Yep it's a pain in the back alright. Big guys get it even worse.
Did you take out your driver's seat? I did that once and it made a HUGE difference. That and used a lot of extensions, a wobble, and a deep wall socket to get the ratchet out below the knee pad.

Yep, took the seat out and then laid out and reached up. The top left nut was the worse. At first I could not even see it. Also tried to remove it without removing the clutch switch all the way.

I also tied up all the wires and looms out of the way so I had a better view. I know they are dorky looking, but I have a sweet headband mounted LED flashlight that really helped too.

I especially love all the dust and bits of sound proofing that fall down in your eyes and you can't move your head to avoid it!
Sam thing if you drop your ratchet, but that hurts more...
