Default brake booster installl question

Can the brake booster be replaced without disconnecting the brake lines? Any installation tutorials?

Thanks for the link. I had reviewed it before. Really don't want to bleed everything all over again. So the answer to the question is no, you cannot install without disconnecting lines. Thanks for the help guys.

So you can r/r the brake booster without having to bleed the brakes completely or having to remove the abs system. You will only need to disconnect the two lines from the master cylinder that go to the abs unit (from on top of the abs unit). I used the bleeder plugs from the calipers to cap off the lines to prevent the dot 4 from leaking everywhere. Loosen the four bolts holding the abs unit down, to give you wiggle room. Also on my c2 you will need to remove the amp that sits in the middle of frunk. You can then remove the master from brake booster. I did bleed all four brakes to make sure either way, but they kept their pressure.
