Tip on removing brake booster
Had to change mine last weekend.
read through some good threads, but pulling a seat and laying upside down really doesn't work for my old, portly self.
FSM says drop the hush panel and remove nuts. Might work for the outboard nut but not the inboard one.
I solved it by pulling the metal panel under the steering wheel and dropping the steering wheel down.
After that I could see the nut and reach it straight on with 2 long extensions. A dab of sealant on the nut put it right back on.
So by pulling 6 extra bolts, I did no contorting to get at it.

A 1/4 inch ratchet drive set with lots of adaptors is what I use and seems to work well. Need to use a universal and now they have them that are spring loaded on the outside so when you hold them straight out, they don’t droop. 
Never had to drop the wheel.
Lots of light and a towel under you back, just enjoy the view.
