brake booster
I am needing to replace the brake booster on my 82 F-100 300. Is this a hard project to complete, or should I get a mechanic to do it? I can't stand the sound of the vacuum leak. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

4 nuts under the dash on the clutch/brake pedal bracket,remove clip holding rod to brake pedal, disconnect brake lines from master cylinder and master cylinder and booster should pull right out. About a 15 minute removal process.

Hey man, I own an '82 flareside, with a 300, and I did the brake booster job myself with no problem, it is nice to have to have a buddy around though. Belive me, if I can do it, anyone can, I'm only fifteen.
Goodluck!

You can cheat on having to remove the brake lines from the master cylinder. I have a couple of times. Remove the master cylinder from the vaccum booster, slide it forward gently just enough to clear the studs on the booster and gently tweak the steel lines as you come off with it. You can get it out of the way enough doing this. I used a piece of broken broom handle layed from the top of the air breather to the wheel well between the brake lines to support it. It saves some work!!
