Get someone else do it!!
Remove the drivers seat to get some additional room and maybe some padding to lay on. This is a very do-able job just not a lot of room to work in. It's been about 4 years since I changed mine but I believe there is a clip that has to go on when putting it back together. That was the tough part. As for the 4 nuts, get a 1/4" socket set with a universal joint. If I remember correctly, one of the nuts I was only able to get one click of the rachet at a time. It took a while to get it tight.

One of the four nuts attaching the booster to the firewall and the retainer clip that attaches the brake pedal are the biggest challenges. Not hard to do mechanically but you need patience.
Just double check and make sure you have the retainer clip that attaches the brake pedal back on properly.
