Brake booster stud broke

[Doug Larsson]

So I'm replacing a leaky master cylinder and when I took it off the brake booster one of the studs has been broken off can I get away with just 3 or should I pull the brake booster out and replace it ?

Personally I would replace the stud or the booster. I do not ever like taking short cuts when it comes to my braking system.

Dryheat is spot on. Don't take the slightest risk on your braking system. Fix it right, the neighborhood cats will appreciate it.

Is there a way to spot-weld a piece of threaded rod onto that broken booster stud? It wouldn't have to be perfect & you could oblong-out one of the master cylinder holes if it wasn't exactly straight.

Ya I know

Nah I'll probably just buy a new one .
