Title: 70 barracuda power brake booster
Post by: michael hoffman on February 14, 2020, 03:03:16 PM
I am trying to replace brake booster on a 70 barracuda.  The brake pedal arm has two bolts that are near impossible to remove.  The top one holds the booster.  Anyone have diagrams or instructions(ALLDATA) or tricks.  Help appreciated, Michael

Take the large bolt out that connects the pivot linkage to the brake pedal. Then take the long pivot bolt out of the bottom of the pivot linkage. Remove the tension spring if it's even there. Once you have these two bolts out, and of course the four nuts holding the booster to the firewall....you can pull the booster off of the firewall taking the pivot linkage with it. Swap the linkage over to the new booster on the bench and install in the same matter.
