Fitting And Removing Brake Boosters - Difficultly Removing Once All Bolts Removed & Difficulty Getting New Booster To Seat Right?

[nigelswazi]

Hi,

Got a quick question which I need help with...

Okay well I just upgraded my Brake Booster to a R34 GT-T Version as I have upgraded my brakes to R34 Fronts. Now the problem I have is with the booster removal and installation. I removed the Brake Master Cylinder, BMC and vacuum hose from the engine side and then removed the four retaining bolts on the inside. The problem is I found it really hard to get the Booster to come out eventually with wiggling and tugging it came out.

I then fitted the new booster but found it difficult to get it to go into the mounting hole. Eventually with lots of wiggling and pushing its what I would call '95% in' but it still feels like it is not seating right (feels like its sitting slightly out on the LHS). Is there a trick to removing and fitting these that I have missed?? Just feels like it needs to go back a couple of mm on one side any idea how to get it to seat 100%.

Also I would like to upgrade the BMC from the stock R33 NON ABS unit but wondering what car I can get a upgrade from or what Part # replacement would be a straight fit but have a bigger cylinder?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for replies
