That's the good thing about taking out the column and dash. You get to do other other maintenance jobs 'while your at it'.

I remember the post about the 20 minute booster installation.
I had just finished replacing mine and it took several hours and a lot of cussing.
I didn't take the dash off to do it. Three of the four bolts were easy, the last one is the bitch and the clip to attach it to the brake pedal is an experience all its own.
Keyboard commandos can sit and type any BS. Some do it just to stir things up.

Did it again, when I posted pictures lost the message I had written. I said something like this:
Thanks for the help here on my little 20 minute project that took a week or more, at least was able to fix and replace things under there. Now going to take another day to put away my tools and clean up the mess I made...happy though that it is done and everything working as should.

Not so bad (now that it is over) and how many owners can say they know what it looks like under there. Believe I'll give myself a pat on (sore) back and keep the beer flowing until next project pops up.
