Hissing near pedal when not pressing the brake

Check the plastic fitting for the vacuum line to the booster, that is the weak link.

Here's a video to help.
Once the top part is off I would guess pretty straight forward to remove the bottom part.
I myself have not done this.

He's not replacing the booster, but there should be enough information there. Guy talks too much, and he is not great with the camera. But it should do.
