It is a pretty straight forward job, with the exception of one nut. You will need to grind down a deep well 15mm socket to about 1 3/4" to get the upper right hand nut off. You will also need a universal and extension(s). I would highly recommend using 1/4" drive due to space limitations under there. Also, you should be able to just unbolt the bracket from the wheel well for the ABS module and not have to disconnect any of the lines.

To make life much easier on you when installing the new booster I'd highly recommend cutting that upper right hand stud before installation. You'll understand why once you get the old one out.
