how important is the gasket where the brake master cylinder connects to the booster?
i'm replacing the brake master on my HJ60, and i notice that the one i'm replacing was installed without a gasket, and i don't have one for my replacement.
it seems to me that all this gasket does is act more like a washer than a seal. if brake fluid is present in the area between the master pin head slot and the booster push rod, then that means the master seals/pistons are going bad right?
also, my mechanic seems to think that when the master seals/pistons went bad it leaked brake fluid into the booster? has that ever happened to anyone on here? do i now need to rebuild/clean out the booster (seems like that would be a PITA and beyond my feeble capabilities).
thanks in advance for input.
