I thank knowledeable Brickers in advance for any help you can provide! I am in the process of doing a "resto-mod" on a 92 245 that also includes converting from a manual tranny to an AW-71. I want to do the following when it comes to the pedals and the brake booster:
1: Replace the brake booster as the diaphragm is leaking.
2: Replace the clutch/brake pedal assembly with a "automatic" brake pedal assembly.

Here are my painful questions:
1: To get the booster and pedals out, does the steering column have to come out?
2: To get to half the bolts, do I have to remove the dash???
3: Should I spend my "therapy" dollars on a shrink or a vodoo doctor... or buy more beer?
4: Anybody have a "auto" Brake pedal assembly out there... along with an auto shifter assembly?

The bright side is that the only thing left in the engine compartment at this point is the steering column and the brake booster... everything else has been removed.

Any thoughts to help out a fellow Volvo addict... besides buying a T5R?

Thanks,
jorrell

No, you don't have to remove the steering column. The brake pedal comes off, the bolts on the inside of the firewall come off, holds on canister. The master cylinder comes off the booster, and it lifts out.
Leave the dash alone.
Buy beer. Shrinks don't understand cars.
The Portland guys have auto pedals hiding in their garages.
