ok i over tightened my master cylinder mounting nut and broke the stud, the one that sticks out of the master power unit (brake booster i believe). i was wondering if it is possible to replace the stud/bolt without taking the whole booster apart? i was looking at the diagram on hondaautomotiveparts.com and i know i cant buy the stud seperatly so i'm gonna have to salvage it from the wreckers. oh and the stud broke off to where i can no longer tread a nut on it. anyone have a writeup or suggestions on what to do? i searched and couldnt find anything.
i really hope i dont have to replace the whole brake booster.

 

Probably going to be a booster replacement. But what a good excuse to upgrade to an Integra booster and MC.

 

I think the stud is part of the booster, not just screwed into it. I'm not certain though. I'd say it sounds like its time to get a bigger booster.

 

you can replace the studs - you have to disassemble the booster to do it, but the studs run all the way through the housing with threads on both ends - it has nuts and washers on the back side of the housing

 

thanks for the help, i just ended up replacing the whole brake booster. i picked one up from the auto wreckers for $20 and put it in. was a biatch to get the old one off my car with the dash and steering column in, but it all worked out fine.
thanks for the help
