Brake pedal assembly removal
I pulled my dash as most of you know, and Still have problems
with getting to bolts and all the stupid wiring thats driving me
crazy. I see 4 nuts that look to be holding the bracket. They
hold the brake booster in place also. Are there more that I can't see?
I removed all 4, and it's still tight in there
I already bought my clutch and brake pedal assembly, but left
it at the office. So i'm not sure on all the mounting points

There is a nut the holds the wire harness in place at the bottom left corner, once you pull that off there is one more nut holding the booster. Other than that it should pull off. Don't forget the bolts in the windshield wiper tray that holds the upper brackets in.

SO, 4 for the booster, 4 in the cowl, and 2 more bolts for a tottal
of 10 ?
I'm here at work now, so I took some pic's, I only count 8 bolts
and all are in the inside.
Looks like 4 in the rear(BOOSTER) and 4 in front.

When I did mine I did not have to pull the booster out of the car, I dont remember how it came out. I just asume that once the 4 bolts were loosened from the wiper compartment i was able to just slide it down and off of the studs. Maybe the booster studs moved enough for me to get it out. But I know I did not remove it from the car.

I found that removing all three brackets under the dash really gave me more room to work. But if you can get the pedals swapped by removing only the bracket that holds the steering column up and the pedal bracket, then I see no reason to do more. I also removed the power brake booster as it just about falls out anyway, and it made it easier for me to replace the rag joint while I was working in that area too. Good luck with your swap. I hope it goes as smooth as mine has but a lot faster!
