Joey.....I have rebuilt mine twice in the 35 years I have owned the car.
Both came out
well. Just be very careful, go slow, and pay attention to what goes where
when taking
it apart. Also get a GOOD internal circlip removal tool and be very careful
taking
out the internal circlip. If you aren't careful its easy to scar up the
inside wall when you
remove and replace the circlip. Just go slow and watch what you are doing
and you
should be fine. Good luck.................

ummm yea about the circlip, Both the ends broke off. I was going along
smoothly until i got to that. I dont know how both the ends broke off, but
they
did. And now it leaves me practically with a little more than a half a circle,
and nothing to grap onto.
so do you have any ideas?
Also, i have a extra 7inch booster. That would need to be rebuilt also. Are
the houseing the same sizes? Not the big can part but the other littler part.
i can just swap the housings and finish the rebuild. Or do you think i
should take my part with the broken circlip to a machine shop or something and
see
if they can try anything. (Do you suggest ne where else?)
Any Any Any suggestions would help a ton.
