It took me about 2.5 hr to remove one from my 4-cyl parts car. On another day, I spent about 3-4 hr. doing the bad-out, good-in swap on a 5-cyl. And since it is "above" the springs, no need to messs with spring compressors. It looks like it can't possibly get out, but it can. Oh, and I did one or the other without disconnecting the brake lines. I just unbolted the booster and skooted it forward. -- Philip,
