If you don't need power brakes, you can delete the booster vac pump. You either open the lid and remove the vanes (they slide out) or remove the diaphragm, depending on which type you have. Its not typically the starter itself that wear out, but the little brass bush that resides at its nose, pressed into the transmission housing. They're a couple dollars. Best to pick up a spare now so you have it. You remove it with a thread tap and press the new one back in very gently with a threaded rod and a nut by tapping with a small hammer.

I was just telling my Diesel Mechanic family member about removing the power brakes, he though I was nuts...
I used to have a 2001 Mustang Cobra which I daily drove with manual brake conversion kit and manual steering. At 3,000lbs it didnt seem like an issue at all, so I wonder if I will even notice much difference with manual brakes.
I purchased a dedicated brake conversion kit for my 2001 Cobra but if I can do this very simply on my rabbit that would be awesome and it would make my engine bay more gutted
Does anybody have a link to how this is done?
thanks,
Jose
