Brake Booster Removal Procedure

Anyone out there know where I might find a write up on how to pull a 2010 brake booster? I’m coming up dry.

I’m working up the willpower to finally swap valve covers... there are good write-ups out there that step out how to do it by loosening the booster a bit, but those procedures also need the S/C plenum to be removed which isn’t an option with the VMP.

I’m not sure my back can take another blower pull, so if yanking the booster frees up enough space, that might be the lesser of two evils at this point. But I could be way off here.

I was able to get my valve covers off without removing the booster, but it involves dropping the K-member with longer bolts on the driver side and jacking up the transmission. Take care to make sure you have clearance from the front sway bar. Removing the front sway bar mounts is probably a good idea. Looks like I'm going to have to do it again, as I have cracking peeling powder coat on the driver's side valve cover. Ggrrrrr.....

I ended up just removing the booster. All the how tos go to great lengths to avoid this (like dropping the k member...) and I’m not exactly sure why. Brake bleeding can’t be that bad can it?
