i have a helms. did everything it says. the booster is "out" but i can't pull it out because the intake manifold is in the way. any suggestions?

i have a b16 swap. i did the master cylinder/booster swap easily with a D-series but now i'm stuck.

pb16b

you take the master cylinder off the booster?

^probably yeah

When I put mine in, I had to disconnect the hard lines to the prop valve and push the throttle and cruise cables out of the way...I still fought w/ it like crazy.
Just keep at it.
Worse comes to worse...remove the intake mani

Unjockable

yeah, the MC is out. i also took out the prop valve lines and the throttle and cruis cables.

the intake manifold is such a bitch to remove but i guess i'll have to do that if nobody else has any suggestions.

Unjockable

anyone?

there is a... U shaped connection that connects the booster to the brake pedal via a steel pin and a cotter pin. I guess you could call it a clevis? regardless of what it is called, i would suggest taking that off. it will only give you about 3/4" or so more clearance, but every bit helps. Also, notice that you can press in the rod going into the booster. it is awkward to press it in, since the booster is in the car, but if you can, do it. when you've done that, use the firewall to keep it in. it will scratch up the paint a bit, hopefully you don't care too much about that. good luck man.

the helms said not to take out the clevis. only the pin. but i guess i'll try that.

take off the master cylinder and then disconnect the pin from the pedal and pull the pin out, then pull the booster out and up

Unjockable

yeah, i'm taking it out to swap it.

B18C_eg

gonna have take out the pin then if you already haven't. push the rod that connects to the pedal back in the booster so u have a lil more clearance and the rest is just maneuvering it out

Unjockable

yeah, i took the pin out already. the rod is so hard to push back with such little room. can i use any tool to push it back?

try catching a piece of the firewall to push the rod in and wiggle around. thats what i did.

Unjockable

i can't even get the rod to get passed the firewall.

I hate to say it...but if you cant even get that far youre gonna have to take the IM off.
Sucks...
