This is actually the first one of these that I replaced, it's a little more complicated than a regular vacuum Booster but not by much. I looked up the procedure for installing the system and it said to crank the engine without starting it, if I were to do it again I'm not sure I would bother with this because the fluid didn't seem to flow until I revved the engine past 2500, once I did this things started to work normally.

How to bead up a stubborn tire
Sure we all know how to mount a tire right? We'll that's what I though until I had one of my new guys struggle for an hour trying to get a stubborn tire to bead up. After I showed him how to do it with Murphy soap, I thought maybe there would be some others who might like to know this as well.
