Default Brake Booster Replacement - Any Advice?

Just ordered new booster and should be coming in later today. I am going to bleed out the brakes and get some new fluid in the lines too while I am at it.

Any advice for putting on the new booster?

Remove drivers seat for better access and buy a wobble extension if you don't have one

Although not necessary it certainly would make it easier. I just did mine a few weeks ago. I'm only 5'7" I laid down in there with the seat still in place. I've already got some back problems so it was very uncomfortable - if I had to do it again the seat would be coming out.

Can be done with wobble sockets but wobble extensions make it easier.
