Default Brake Booster Replacement - '94 940

So I've determined my brake booster is completely shot. Brake pedal is high and hard at all times. I've never replaced a brake booster on this car before. It seems pretty straight forward(Chilton Manual). Does anyone have any tips/tricks that could help or know of anything I need to watch out for?

Thanks!

It is pretty straight forward. Just make sure you have something to seal it with.
The booster to firewall. I used the body putty from IPD. works great.

Would silicon be a good option for dealing?

Also, the manual mentions bleeding the brakes. Does this mean the master cylinder needs to me 100% removed?

If there is no room to pull it away, then you'll have to remove it. Silicone could work.
