Rebuild brake booster???

Is there any way to rebuild or tear down a brake booster so that I may powdercoat it? Im hoping it doesnt require a crazy amount of special tools.

Thanks

Every FSM ive seen always calls for some mammoth tool to spin the shells apart. I would think a couple strap wrenches would do the job, but then again i've never done it before.

Figures... I should have known to ask you first. SO, tell me this - If I simply remove the rubber stuff from the outside like you did, could I then simply powdercoat it? If all that is in there a huge spring, I am sure it can handle 400 for around 20 minutes.
