Hdro booster

How big of a job is it to change out the hydrobooster unit. IS this a job for the dealer or can any mechanic pro or amateur do this.

IS there any gasket that goes between the hydrobooster unit and the brake master cylinder.

Thanks in advance for advice.

Thanks cheezit for the input.
Any idea on if there is a gasket required between the Master and the hydo. Want to be sure I have all the required parts befpre starting.
When you say 4 bolts inside and 2 outside you mean 2 bolts on the master and 4 on the hydro. By inside do you mean there are nuts on the inside of the cab where the booster attaches to the wall. (looks from a cursory glance as if the bolts go into a pre threaded receiver.)
