That was truthful advise on that one, everybody said it would be really hard..
I removed my brake booster in about 45 minutes and that included removing the master and the pin from the pedal rod. Then I took apart the booster to see how it worked.

The key is a couple long extensions, a deep wall, a U-joint, and it helps to take out the seat. No BS.

It has not caused any issues in our marriage, mainly because the vette is mine and the Trans Am is his, and he knows if he wrecks it he is not to come home. LOL

The seats are still comfortable after a day's drive. (Could barely tolerate my '70 for an hour without a chiropracter.)

LOL...I didn't know about the wave in the beginning. I told my wife "Some guy in a C5 waved at me like we're in some club or something". She tells me "You're supposed to wave". I still feel like crap for that one non-wave. Turns out that the guy I snubbed was the man that she had met at the grocery store the day before that told her about the wave. Said he did the same thing when he first got his.
I remember years ago, especially on country roads in Texas, people would wave at everybody they passed. Nobody ever does that anymore. Probably afraid of being shot.
