Replacing Master Cylinder and Brake Booster, need some guidance!

[Kdubslugga]

I just bought a nice used master cylinder and brake booster off Ebay and its time to put it in, my lines are leaking and so are the rubber bushings under the brake fluid resevoir. Im kind of confused about how to remove the brake booster and master cylinder as one, and also the brake lines going into the master cylinder are pretty rusted but only at the mounting point. If i break the lines at the mounting point how do i replace or fix that?? Any other tips or suggestions are welcomed!! Also, can I replace those rubber bushings under the resevoir on my new unit, one looks pretty dry rotted!

To change them, disconnect the brake lines from the master cylinder.

Then, inside the car, under the dash, remove the clip that keeps the pushrod on the brake pedal. Then remove the four nuts on the booster mounting studs, at the fire wall. Then from under the hood, pull the booster forward and remove.

It would be easier, perhaps to remove the master cylinder from the booster, the two nuts, etc, first. I think they have to come off anyway to remove a bracket.

Removing the booster can be a pain, as the top nuts are hard to get to.

With patience, it will work.

The brake lines can be cut off several inches back, and a short section installed with a flare coupling, or just take the lines out of the combination valve and replace the whole thing. If you take them out, it is easier to reflare the end. Been there, done this.
