Looking for advice on removing power booster from '69 XR7 convertible. Have removed brake lines from master cylinder, linkage from brake pedal, 4 nuts from studs coming through firewall and bolt from engine compartment. Booster bracket will open about 1/8" at top but will not break free from firewall. Master cylinder is not hitting shock tower, or any other obstacle. Still seems to be attached to firewall, although all visible nuts / bolt have been removed. Have used ratchet strap attached to A/C bracket with significant pull, but still will not come off firewall. Has anyone experienced similar difficulties? Any ideas?

This probably is the hidden 5th nut on the stud that also attaches the bracket to the dash. One of the studs (lower right if I recall) has two nuts. One under the dash bracket, one on top. This has been a bane of many.
There is a double nut on the lower PS stud, you have to remove the dash bracket to see it.
There’s a 5th nuts, thanks to the advice on this board, the hidden 5th was easy to find. Its the bracket that attaches to the lower dash
Thanks for the targeted responses. I will look for the 2nd nut on the stud!
