    HQ Brake Booster Removal

    Hi can anyone tell me if you have to drop the steering column to remove the retaining nuts of the brake booster have got the two out on the drivers side and the bottom one on the passenger side but the top one is near impossible to get a spanner on, also did the HQ Sandman have the big nut brake master cylinder thanks in advance

    Very hard to get these out with the guages in. With guages out just need 2 x extensions on a socket.

    All HQ's used a cast iron master cylinder.
