2eighTZ4me Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Anyone have an old brake booster lying in the scrap heap that I can pillage the reaction disk from? Mine is lost in the booster. I had my fingers on it - but missed it and now it's dropped 'somewhere' in the booster and appears to be stuck somewhere. I bang and shake and can't hear it anymore. I know it didn't drop out - and pulling the booster apart doesn't look like a fun job. Shipping to 30044. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 See if you can use some compressed air to get it out first. Use a nozzle with a long skinny tube that can fit into the booster and try to blast it loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2eighTZ4me Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 Leon - you have a tremendous grasp of the obvious - and apparently the 'not-so-obvious' as well. That's a great idea. I'll try that when I get home tonight. Roger - if that doesn't work - I'll hit you up man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I made a reaction disk from a rubber stopper of the correct diameter and thickness (approx 6mm). Just take the push rod to the hardware store and match it to a rubber stopper. Cut a 6mm thick section off the end of the stopper and JB Weld it to the push rod. Shape the stopper with sand paper to match the diameter of the push rod. It looks and functions like the original reaction disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six_Shooter Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 My trick to getting the reaction disc out is to shake the booster until the reaction disc is to one side, usually it goes with gravity, so the bottom. Then using a rag and place it in the booster through the pushrod hole. Flip the booster around so that the reaction disc lands on the rag and you can retrieve it. I spent about 20 minutes trying without the rag, it took me literally 5 seconds once the rag was installed to retrieve the reaction disc. I would keep seeing it float past the pushrod hole, taunting me. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
