Okay, so I've pulled the dash.  But now there's the brake m/c and booster
that have to come out to get to the pedal assembly.  What's the procedure
there?

I understand that the hydraulic lines can remain attached.  Do I keep the
the master cylinder on the booster or remove it?  I can feel some bolts on
the backside of the booster that I presume secure it to the bracket/pedal
assembly, but they seem a bit difficult to access.  Or do I remove the
entire bracket w/ the booster attached?

In case it matters (or makes the procedure easier), I'm also considering
replacing the m/c while I'm at it.

Last thing... With 230k on the van, should I replace the blower motor?  It
seems to run fine, no weird noises (I'm in so cal, so it gets only moderate
use).  But if it's an inevitable break, I'd rather get it done now while I'm
bogarting the garage.  Anything else?

I appreciate the continued help.

Thanks all,

James
