After all, I did not go with the seal kit. I got the rebuild from Kragen and I have to swap backing plates. The unit is notched for alignment so it wont turn inside the plate. I am gong to try hammer and punch again to get it off.
M1008 square nut. I cannot remove this tight 4 sided nut and I am out of ideas. A crecent wrench, deep socket (because of the non removable rod) and a punch have failed to do it. I need an idea so I can get it off and place the mount on the new boost. Thanks
So while swapping belts today, I noticed a round sensor mounted in the block with no wire attached. The sensor looks like it has one blade just like a glow plug (unless the other blade broke off). It is between the power steering pump and the front glow plug. In my glow plug/AC wires, I found...

I went down to Napa today and they said I was SOL and tried to sell me a rebuild for $214. My Hydraboost works good minus a very small leak inside the cab.
My hydroboost is leaking down the floorboard and I dont want to spend 200 on a rebuild. Where can I get a seal kit and what is the part #. I cant see it being that hard to replace the seals. The GM dealer here said it obsolete. I have searched napa and kragen online and I cant find it.
