    Wouldn’t it be easiest to just remove the HV Inverter to replace the Brake Booster?

    Yes you always at least undo the three bolts that hold it down to the car then you undo the orange plugs the gray plug and the black plug at the rear You've already taken out your high voltage safety plug before you started this mess and now you remove the cover off the inverter and you'll need the t what is it 35 or 45 to get the special screw off in the front off the lid of the inverter then inside of the lid of the inverter you're going to do the six chrome screws that hold in the three fingered plugs you'll undo two or three various plastic clips that go in a half round rubber grommet through the side of the box right at the fuse box area lay that all down next to the fuse box it'll just hang and then I believe you can pick up the inverter twist it to the left while sitting it down on the front crossmember radiator area without any issue it just sits there The hoses are still connected and everything the inverter reservoir is still on it nothing is too tweaked and usually leave it sitting there for the hour that I'm undoing the break actuator blocking off the feeds from the reservoir and getting the three or four bolts out of the crossmember that holds the actuator and then upon replacement I'm eliminating the weights and that sort of thing.
