The actual booster/master cylinder process probably took maybe 3 hours tops for being my first time...the loading sensing valve delete took about another couple for trying to figure out why didn't I have rear brakes and swapping fittings over to make everything work...
If I remember correctly The tools to complete the job cost more than the parts itself...(harbor freight brands/w discounts)
Double flaring tool/brake line tube bender/brake line cutter...
Word of advice...when your using the cut off wheel to grind down the rod flat don't cut so much just a little goes a long way. I had to use duck tape to fill the gap for the brake light sensor/sender for my brake lights to work...

Yeah all plastic bushings and caps on the rod...but brake lights weren't working and a write-up on comancheclub forum a guy mentioning using duck tape to get enough pressure to make the rear brakes work...
