97 Tahoe with a bad brake booster

[swp5767]

Has anyone replaced one before? It look like the bolts to it are tough to get to.

Also, can I get one at a local auto parts store or is this a dealer item?

Thanks

you can get this part at a parts store. the bolts are not that bad to get too, i think the most difficult thing to do, is take off the retaining clip that holds the booster rod to the brake pedal.

Im about half way through this job, and I have no idea how to get the clip of the brake light switch, which I think also hold the pushrod on too. Im working my way through the 4 bolts holding it on. And they are a #$&%@ to get off.

I have a Chilton manual, but it does not tell me much on how to take off the retaining clip or the brake light switch connector.

Any help would be great!!
