And each and every single nut came off with maximal effort, except for the one, I went back and looked at that one and found the "real" booster nut. I just hope that the booster nuts go ON much easier than they came off!

Bubba,

I think those nuts are actually lock nuts (probably because of firewall vibration against a brake component). I expect that they will go on a as hard although I have penetrant on everything at this point

Once I had the booster out, I noticed that the hole was oval in shape with more room from top to bottom. I could not see that before. I rotated the column so that the level was up and pulled it right out.
