Removing Brake Booster
I found out last night that my brake master cylinder was leaking into my booster. I have the master off, but how do I disconnect the booster from the brake pedal? I see what looks like a clip with a blue circle piece around it. Any ideas or help? It's a 2010 F-150 XLT 4WD with a 5.4 any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Most master brake and clutch rods have a snap ring holding them to the cylinder. These are usually a one time lock ring that has to be pried off, and they break. The new cylinder should come with a new clip.

Marc, I appreciate the response. I wish I would have seen it on Christmas, lol. When I bought the new booster I spoke to Ford and they told me it was a sacrifacial pin so I used an o-ring and busted the two tabs and removed the pin. Wasn't bad with the exception of trying to find out how to remove a simple little pin. Thanks again for the response though.
