1997 outback

 

Clevis pin removed

4 nuts inside car removed

Master cylinder removed

PB vac line removed

Fuel lines removed

 

And it wont come out. The booster is loose, but seems to be hanging up on the stud at the 2 ocklock position (from drivers seat). Si there a trick i am not seeing or is it just brute force at this point?

Figured it out.

 

For anyone else removing a power brake booster:

 

i removed the Master cylinder. My brake system was getting flushed anyway, and it does make life easier

 

Remove clevis pin at brake pedal

remove the computer on the brake pedal bracket. Not necassary but it is nice to have a little more room to work.

Remove fuel filter

Remove (this is a 1997) the cruise control actuator.

Disconnect booster line at booster

Unbolt two grounds on drivers side strut tower. Remove that harness from the clip and swing it out of the way.

 

Wiggle booster.

wiggle wiggle wiggle

Get a drink of your choice.

Remove small children and religous people from ear shot

wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle

 

It does come out, eventually.

 

All the manuals say are remove the clevis pin, hose and bolts and WALLAH it is out.

 

Nothing about the little extra parts.
