Hello All...I have everything thing unbolted and booster is almost out but that support bar that runs across removal area up toward battery and hood latch is blocking me from pulling boosters last few bolt threads out of firewall. I have watched you tube vids and read Haynes manual and no mention of being able to unbolt this bar without repercussions.

If I unbolt top bolt only to gain some millimeters of space will I have problems reattaching?

Remove that bar. 5 bolts, I believe.

No consequences to removing that bar.

I've replaced two brake boosters and never had to remove the brace.

When I removed the original in my 95, I didn't have to remove that bar, but the replacement wouldn't go in without it being removed. Out and back again, no worries.
Just my experience

I've replaced mine once (1989 model). No brace removal required. I don't remember it being an especially difficult job, either. Of course, I was 18 years younger then, and a lot more flexible...

Okay so I was able to remove easily once I removed master cylinder. from brake lines. Now that I have done it I will have to agree not a big deal. Worst part is trying to fit where seat goes.
Side note...while Booster is removed it's a perfect time to change the spark plugs. That one on driver's side near firewall is right there.
Thank all
