i broke it. im reading the manual and it says i need to literally disassemble the master cylinder, and then pull the booster.

could i not disassemble the master and take if off as a whole? is there a trick?

anything i should look out for?

Uhh, just remove the two nuts on the master cylinder and then you don't have to disconnect your brake lines and re bleed them...then just disconnect the pedal inside and there should be a couple nuts inside and you can just pull the booster right offand push the master cylinder out of the way...

Or of course you can just remove the whole deal as one piece, but you'll have to rebleed the system since it will require disconnecting brake lines, and the reservoir will drain out everywhere and the brake fluid will eat any paint it touches and you'll have an ugly mess...
