Hi all,

Anybody know how to remove the yoke on the bottom of the brake booster? I was able to remove the booster pretty easily, but the new one only has a threaded rod and a nut. Either I need to get the old one off or get a new one. Anybody run into this? I can't remove the old one for the life of me, making me believe it isn't removable. Or, just extremely rusted.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Have you tried heating the yoke with a hand-held propane torch.....then unscrew it.....(wear gloves!).......

Hi guys. Thanks for the responses. I was able to get it removed yesterday! I do wish I would have seen this before because I feel like an idiot, but I didn't realize that only the very top, u-shaped part comes off. I thought the part where you marked "heat here" was attached, so I was trying to twist that part off of the shaft! Lol. Anyways, we live in learn.

Bottom line, I got my new booster and master cylinder installed yesterday, bled the brakes and she's stopping on a dime now! Best they've felt. (I just can't get that damn brake light to go off. I thought all of this would fix that too. Oh well. Mabe time to change that distribution valve?)

Glad that you got it sorted out

Another forum member showed me a tool for centering the distribution block switch. Probably worth a shot before you remove it.

Oh yeah, I've seen that. The little pin type thing right? Where did you purchase it?

stomp on the brake peddle real hard a couple of times and the light should go out

Correct. Found it on eBay.
