I don't think there's a procedure because i don't think it's ever been done. I saw at least a dozen and a half AU2s make it to 700k on the clock and i never saw one get its brake booster changed, my own personal car included.

/edit: oh yours is an eight? no idea then.

Just unbolt the master cylinder in the engine bay, and carefully move that into the engine bay (header tank must be moved also), then undo the 4 bolts inside the car against the firewall, pull out the brake booster from the engine bay....

yeah i got funny looks when i went into abs as well, they all know about series ones but series two confuses them, reckon they have never had one, but it does hiss at me quite a bit and cant work out if it wants to be a really soft pedal that travels or a really hard one......
