Replacing the brake booster on a 1995 Lexus SC400 can be a moderately challenging task, especially if you have some mechanical experience. Here are the key steps involved:

1. Accessing the Brake Booster: You’ll need to remove components like the air intake and possibly the master cylinder to access the brake booster.
2. Disconnecting Components: Disconnect the brake lines, vacuum hose, and electrical connectors.
3. Removing the Brake Booster: Unbolt the brake booster from the firewall and remove it.
4. Installing the New Brake Booster: Position the new brake booster, bolt it in place, and reconnect all the components.
5. Testing: After installation, test the brake system to ensure everything is functioning correctly.

Some users have found it relatively straightforward, involving just a few bolts and connections. However, if you’re not comfortable with car repairs, it might be best to consult a professional mechanic.
