| Hi Guys, its my first post here. My Master Cylinder and booster are bad, so my car won't idle because of the massive vacuum leak.
I cant see the bottom left bolt on the brake booster because the steering shaft is in the way
Does anyone have experience in replacing?
Thanks
Andrew | |

| You might have to unbolt the column at the instrument panel to move it away enough. My 1998 FSM doesn't mention that.

Before I cut the boot to pieces, is there enough left to right play to move it that much? | |

| I split the boot and got it, should I do a write-up after this? | |
