Todd 13 Posted May 24, 2019 Newbie needs advice have recently bought a xy Falcon with dodgy brake booster had more more trouble than the early settlers getting enough clearance to get master cylinder off past the shock tower to get booster off and scratching shock tower in process. Have big concerns how I will squeeze it back Is this a normal issue with xy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deankxf 20,266 Posted May 24, 2019 you may be better off unbolting the booster from the firewall and putting it back as one assembly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Todd 13 Posted May 24, 2019 Thx dean for reply will try that just hoping I don’t have to remove firewall bracket with clutch cable and harness’s in the way maybe dropping it back in from top on a angle otherwise wrestle it back in like a psychopath that how I got it off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deankxf 20,266 Posted May 24, 2019 i removed one from an XY about 25yrs ago, i know i took it out as a unit, but it was an auto, so no other crap in the way at least. need to think to yourself.. how would Ford have done it.. can't be that hard ... oh well, it can, could be worse, could be a hose on a later model falcon under the manufold 1 gerg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerg 10,871 Posted May 24, 2019 +1 on the booster removal. Taking off the nuts inside the dash is a bitch but it allows a bit of angling upward of the whole lot. Maybe you could try loosening them first, not entirely removing them. It might just give you enough clearance.Sent from my CPH1903 using Tapatalk 2 deankxf and bear351c reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
