Power Brake Conversion
I have a 70 Corvette with manual brakes, I’m in the process of converting it to power brakes. I understand the installation process pretty well. My question is how do you remove the two lower nuts that’s welded on the back side of the bracket that the brake booster mount to. The new booster has four studs, there is no way that you can install it with the two lower holes having nuts welded to the backside of it. Any help will be appreciated!!!
Is my vette stock?? HAHA

you can take a punch and go from the outside in through the fire wall holes and pop it out with a good hammer punch or drift. They are only held on with tack welds. It was pretty easy...try and and check back in

Thanks for your reply, I wish I would have gotten it sooner, was in the process of the conversion when I posted the question. I did wait for a few hours before checking with the corvette vendor that sold me the conversion kit, he emailed me the template and told me to use a 7/16 drill bit to drill the holes out, it worked fine.after about 4hours of intense work and a few choice words I’m over 3/4 of the way done. (Thanks again).
