Aaron -

To replace, first pump the brake pedal >10 times to relieve pressure. To remove the bomb I used a strap intended for removing oil filters. This particular strap has a socket insert hole, which enabled me to wrap the strap around the bomb from the top, insert socket wrench, and applying firm torue, break the bomb loose. Because it is attached to a relatively weak bracket you have to be careful. The bomb will then unscrew. Replacement is the reverse, however, you may need to nudge the bracket outwards from the fender to allow proper alignment with the hole.

Hope this helps. Good luck, and take your time - it's not too bad.

Dan
