Its not to bad but kinda sucks to be honest. You start by takinh the master cylinder off the go under the dash and unbolt the booster which is held on to with studs and nuts. You will need to take most of the brake linkage off too. Not a fun job, but will be worth it if your going to plate it!

I just installed a new master cylinder and noticed that inside the booster (where the master cylinder bolts up) was rusty and I was going to take it apart until I read "Do not attempt to dismantle the power brake unit, but if faulty, exchange it for a new unit". So I left it alone.....Dont need the booster anyways with discs, just a space hogger! ....Also like cuda66273 says if the vehicle gets track time its dangerous!
