Default Help with mounting brake booster

Hello All
I am in the process of converting to front power disc brakes. Fairly easy process took about three hours to do. One question I have. Does anyone know any tricks for getting the bottom two nuts on the brake booster? I got the top ones on with a lot of patience but I can't seem to figure out a way to get to the bottom.
Thanks
Mike

Mike, Did you tighten up the top nuts? Not sure how much room you have, but you may have to back off the top nuts so only one thread is holding the booster on and slide the booster forward so you can get the bottom 2 started.

Thank you for the reply Larry I did try to just slightly tighten the top 2 but it makes no difference as I cannot even reach the bottom 2/

you may have to remove the fender. I installed mine with the front clip off
mark every bolt/washer location with a pencil before loosening them . tape all shims together and mark they where they go
