if you got all 4 bolts out, then the reason it is stuck is that the threads on the booster are getting hung up on the pedal bracket. Wiggle the booster again and see if it comes loose.
I'll grab some pics when I go to the garage.

4 nuts inside the car come off, no bolts need to be taken out from the inside.

Here are pics of mine;



Last pic here is looking up from the floor, you can see the two on the LH side and the RH two are hidden behind the bracket in the picture.

last pic is looking straight up the firewall from the floor, you can see the brake pedal hanging there as well as the pedal bracket and hole for the Clutch M/C..

Ya, thanks for the pics. I'm still confused as to why the booster won't slide out

The threads of the studs could be hooking on the bracket inside the car. Pull and wiggle while pulling and see if it starts to move if you have all four nuts off.

I thought the same thing too; the right side moves but the left is still pretty stuck

if you got the 4 bolts out maybe the paint is causing it to stick.

I took a pry-bar to it today; nothing happened. Something is really f*cked up in there
(Only the right side is moving a bit)

Alright Matt, simple question so I'm sure.
You have taken all 4 nuts off of the brake booster studs, right?

Re: Ya.. so how do I finish getting the brake-booster out?

^That's what I'm trying to ask I took 4 bolts out, yes. 2 bolts had green compound on the threading to prevent them from coming out, and the other two didn't.
My friend just recently found 2 more bolts somewhere behind the steering column that he claims need to come out.

You keeo saying bolts, unless they changed the booster from 85 to 86 they will be nuts, They will have a brass color to them and green plastic at the top to prevent them from backing off of the studs to the booster, All 4 of these must come out.

^Ya, I mean nuts I keep saying bolts though. Sorry ALL of the brake-booster nuts will have the green stuff on the tops threads? Because only 2 of the bolts I took out did; the other 2 didn't.
