Default Broken ECM mounting bracket -- how hard to replace?

Looks like I have to remove the power brake booster to replace this part...is there another way?

How easy/hard is it to pull the booster? Thanks!

I've pulled and replaced a MC and booster before on a '93 and it is a PITA. I simply can't beleive that the booster would have to be removed to replace the ECM bracket assembly.

As I recall, I removed the ECM bracket to get at the booster, but not the other way around...... let me look at the pics I took for posterity...

Nope, this picture tells me that I removed the bracket without touching the MC or booster....

Thanks so much, however...I think I see the (lower part not the upper) of the ECM bracket just to the right (driver's side) of the power booster in the picture...that's the piece broken on mine that I am trying to replace, not the one to the side of it...?

Joseph, I have the same problem on my '96 CE ... a tree totaled the hood and winshield, bent the windshield post and broke the ECM bracket. Right now the bracket is glued and screwed together with a bent sheet metal brace!! When I get the nerve to pull the booster, I'll post comments.
