I've got the manuals. The pix are accurate enough. Just that one darn nut that I can't seem
to get a wrench on well enough to turn because of space limitations.
Also because of the length of the stud in the back of the booster, if you use a socket,
it about has to be a deep socket but there is not room for that, and neither is there room to
turn a box or open end wrench. Normally Swedes are pretty gentle folk but I detect a streak
of Viking meanness in this design.
It was not a big enough vacuum leak to have much effect on the D-jet's idle but it was making
funny whistling noises when the brake was applied, as well as stopping poorly until the
brake pedal was pressed quite hard.
This is gonna be a fun job to put back together, too.
