Would anyone know how take out the old Power Brake Booster and install a new one?
Tips and tricks much appreciated.

Pretty simple job, although having a small pair of hands...or a willing wife/kid will make it easier. Remove the master cylinder (4 nuts and two fluid lines) then move drivers seat all the way back, get under the dash and remove the 4 nuts that hold the booster to the firewall. If I remember right, there is only one that is a bit of a challenge.

...and while your doing that, it's a good idea to change and flush the old brake fluid...I run a piece of vacume hose from each bleeder screw into a soda can, open all the bleeders, and let gravity do the work. Dump the fluid out of the master cylinder and wipe clean. After reinstalling everything, fill the master cylinder but leave bleeders open, keep filling the master cylinder with brake fluid until the fluid coming our the bleeder screws is clean, then close them all. At that point, you should have a fair brake pedal, the system will just take minor bleeding to be 100%
