its actually not that hard. theres 2 nuts holding the master cylinder the the bbooster and then 4 nuts holding the bbooster to the firewall behind the dash. hardest part is getting the 4 nuts behind the dash off.

IF you do it, just make sure you have the tools.
There are a couple hard to reach nuts to remove.
I remember using a couple extensions and maybe a wobbler joint to hoook up to them with a socket. Might have been a deep socket too... been a while.

the two bolts from behind the firewall and the upper left bolts are relatively easy to remove. the upper right bolt is the hardest, i used the small wrachet with extensions to get it off. and make sure u have nose pillars or somthing pointy to remover the pin from under the steering column.
