I just wanted to thank those that replied to my quest for help. It wasn't 
exactly easy pulling the brake booster off. The hydraulic  supply line 
nuts refused to separate, which caused a major delay. I just disconnected 
the line from the regulator and dropped the other one in. Luckily I was 
able to get a new one from a fellow NY Chapter member for close to 
nothing.

I noticed that the parking brake no longer works, it can't be related to 
the booster. Is there a single or double cable that feeds the rear? What 
is the likely cause?.

As for the comment that this list sucks...........ignore him he'll go away

Thanks
