i just replaced the brake booster my self it wasnt hard it took me and a friend about 2 hours did they tell you that you needed a new master cylinder because mine was fine and there was no need to replace i paid 271.00 total from partstrain.com for the booster and 60.00 of that was returned to me when i returned the old one for the core charge this was for a rebuilt one but they give you a lifetime waranty. i suggest getting a book on your car if you dont already have one i have the haynes and it helped alot
