Default itr brake booster - ok to bang a dent in it?

I mean, it's hollow right?

Should I remove it before bashing a hole in it?

Or is the 5lb hammer ok to make derr dentZ0r?

I'd remove it first. You might end up denting in the firewall and then the push rod will be all out of alignment.

He could've had a nice downpayment on a big house with all the money he spent on his cars.

I have a nice downpayment, but don't see the sense in dropping $10k only to see my monthly payments on the house go down maybe $100...

I rather leave it in investments where it earns me $.

I'm financing the house with an 80/20 split.

Besides, you can't drive a house but you can live in a car!


toda v8 is on the way.....

LoL, only Kenny... Hell as long as you don't make a hole in the brake booster, I don't see how it would make any difference. However, please note that this is simply my opinion as I have no first hand knowledge of this.

All it needs is a good banging with one of these:


I really dont see it making any difference unless you puncture it, as said before. I may be wrong though. If I am incorrect, someone please correct me.

Hope you got some real stiff motor mounts too. Rail might hit the booster every time you punch the throttle even after you hammer a dent in the booster.

It already touches in this configuration constantly... you can feel the idle of the motor through the brake pedal..... and the earls Al fittings are getting worn down due to this... It's as if the fuel rail were a brake booster brace.....

The motor doesn't have much (if any) motion - it's hasport poly mounts...

In the words of MJ "Just Beat It"! That's about the only thing that I can contribute. What has everyone else done in order for it not to become a brace for the brake booster?!

Get a K and put it in backwards.

Or, put washers under the rear mount *cringe*
