Remove that bolt 3) remove spring attached to linkage BTW the linkage comes out with the booster 4) Unbolt 4 nuts that hold booster to firewall 5) Unbolt master. I've been able to rig it where I haven't taken off the lines from the master just moving it out of the way. 5a) remove vacuum line 6) Remove booster 7) Remove linkage from booster. Note that there is a bushing in the rod in the back of the booster. Don't lose it because nobody makes it. 8) Reverse to install

All I did was disconnect the linkage from the booster (one pin), and then the 4 bolts from the booster, and disconnect the master cyl from the booster. All my pedal linkage stayed intact. I did have a really long set of needle nose pliers though, to let me R&R that little pin. 1971 Plymouth Satellite 408/904 8 3/4 3.23 SG

I'll have to look at it again next time I do one.
