slippets

Ok ive got the repacement booster back on after quite a bit of wedging, but now i need to lift the pedal box back up and re fit the 2 pins above the booster that hold the peddal box in position, however, the booster piston is fully out and i am unable to lift the pedal box past the piston. I need to remove the steering rod to give it room to pass the piston. I will do this in the morning, Is it an easy job to remove the steering rod from the stereing wheel to the floor? Thanks.

Ok ongoing update, what a complete pain of a job, thanks for the advice of pedal removal revealing 4 extra nuts, so 8 in total. 4 on the pedal box and 4 below the pedal box hidden. The booster is not glued in. Problem 2 now is that with all nuts off there is not enough space to withdraw the booster from the bulkhead, the 4 pins on the booster are about 65mm long and they are about 45mm of space without lowereing or disassembling the engine, which i will not do. I have resorted to removing the battery giving me side acces with a jigsaw, cutting off the bolts. I think the top 2 bolts have room to come out, its just the bottom 2, 1 of which is hidden. Im going to rotate the booster on its last pin and cut that too. Then im going to have to cut an inch off the bottom 2 booster pins on the new booster to allow re-assembly, I will tell you if it works ok!

Hi, My first post Trying in vain to remove my brake booster, looks simple, just 4 nuts under the dash and the pin on the brake pedal, will it come off, no. Ive searched for Boxer booster removal and it mentions 2 clips on the side of the piston behind the pedal that need to be pressed in or removed. Is this the case for the relay van, ive not recovered from mauling the booster with my jemmy bar yet to try again. Many thanks
