Yes it's easier the way you did it.Warning be careful when you're separating the unit. There are springs and some very small metal pieces that are under pressure hydraulically or by the springs.Some of them will shoot out and can be lost.
If you get the repair kit, all those parts are included for the complete rebuild, if your addressing a gasket or seal problem this is the way to go, you will still have access to replace the spring/springs depending on the type of booster. This was done on a Chevy. If you're not rebuilding the entire unit, you don't need to remove the entire unit for most repairs to these.
@jayheavner5744 When you disconnect the power steering lines you won't have that problem. That would release any pressure. You build the pressure back by doing the brake, steering sequence after you put it back together.
Very cool. Yeah, no one says all this. I’m gonna try this today. Thanks!
Nice! I hope this saves me time and effort
It will, what is the issue with your booster?
@@phantomfixer
Leaking out of the bottom weep hole. I will be changing the seals
Awesome job
I’m not sure if I understood if it needs to be removed or not.....
If you only need to replace the seals, you don't need to remove the entire booster from the vehicle.
I’m not surprised most people need to be told a few more times

Yeah, fluid will squirt all over you if pressure not released from accumulator.

lines were disconnected when pressure got me.@@phantomfixer
Where did you get parts?
