In your first photo listed as #3 in the parts you will need I would just like to clarify to anyone who reads that he meant power steering pump, not waterpump.

I'd probably also note that you can also get power steering pumps with the extra drain in the tank for the hydro boost setup. I picked a new one on e-bay for $80.

How hard is it to get into place to get to this stuff? The pedal and booster more specifically.
Tear into the dash any?

I've never messed with a booster so I just don't know

Depends how big you are. You basically have to lay on your back and undo those 5 bolts and put them back in. If you have small hands and narrow shoulders its pretty easy, but just uncomfortable if you have bigger shoulders like me. Its not hard, just annoying.

Atomic you sir do some nice wright ups on changing thing. Especially with the pictures they are a massive help.

I vote that this should be a sticky!
