1967 Ford Mustang Disc Brake Install Power Brake Booster Install Kit
15 With the Master Power brake-booster package, the assembled master cylinder and booster are ready to install, and the vacuum-hose kit and power-brake pedal are also included.

1967 Ford Mustang Disc Brake Install Removing Strut Brace For Access
16 Remove the driver-side strut brace to access the master-cylinder area. This piece needs to come out so the new master and booster can be installed. It will also give you working room. Consider removing the hood as well to gain even more access to the firewall area. Remove the driver seat also, which will make it more comfortable to access the area underneath the instrument panel.

1967 Ford Mustang Disc Brake Install Brake Light Switch Removal
18 This cotter pin, located behind the instrument panel, secures the brake pushrod to the brake pedal. Remove it to take out the master cylinder. There isn't enough room underneath a car's dash for a tool, hand, and camera at the same time to show exactly what's happening, but a pair of needle-nose pliers is necessary to remove the pin, which will also release the brake-light switch.
