Hey i am putting in my pedals and master cylinder trying to finish up little odds and ends for my manual swap on my red wagon.
I got the pedals in but am having trouble with the master cylinder.
It looks like it should go perfectly in but the brake booster is in the way.
Do i have to remove the brake booster to get the master cylinder on?
Do i need to modify anything for it to fit?

Thanks VS

hm.... im having trouble remembering. in my 96 I did not have to remove the brake booster. I just took out the plate on the firewall fit right in. I remember having to move it around to fit though.

Maybe it will make better since tomorrow after some sleep. I took off the blanking plate in the firewall but i have twisted it and pushed on it and still cant get it under the brake booster and into the hole.

2 person job....

at least if you have 2 people it'll save you from taking hours to fit it. lol. Seriously had it after 5 mins with another person helping. Meanwhile I spent a useless hour trying to do it myself

Well I will try the two person deal tonight and see how it goes.

it's a pain in the ass....no need to remove the brake booster.....like Mike said, having two people will do the trick....the person on the outside will have to guide it and try to get it to sit flush.

it's a pain in the jerk....no need to remove the brake booster.....like Mike said, having two people will do the trick....the person on the outside will have to guide it and try to get it to sit flush.

I didnt remove it but i did loosen the nuts on it so it could be moved around if needed so maybe try that.
