Brake Booster

[alc5m]

So my brake booster has gone out

what are the adverse effects to the braking system other than the fact its hard as hell to press the pedal?

is it gonna f up any brake lines or anything, or is it something i can deal with for a while?

also, how hard is it to replace on my lonesome in my garage?

thanks

1996 hoe btw, i dont think its a hydraulic booster, just a vacuum line off the engine if im not mistaken?

Won't damage anything else but you might consider using two feet. Probably would not hurt to maybe plug the vacuum line at the booster in case the failure might create a vacuum leak for the engine
