Brake Booster Removal : Aspire Booster Upgrade

[Gomez]

I've got a protege booster and kia rio Mc. Will test and report soon as my car is up and running

What year is your Protégé booster

I will. I'm curious myself. I'm putting a miata booster/aspire brake system on the skittle. And on whitestiva im gonna with stock brakes with aspire booster/escort master cylinder. It will be interesting to see which setup I like best.

What year is your Miata booster?

Oh it's extremely well worth the upgrade, just a PITA to do is all lol

I have a protege booster on mine and I'm not sure of the diameter but if the aspire one is slightly smaller diameter, I may go for that instead since it'll give a hair more room to convert to hydro clutch

Do I really need to ask you too. LOL

Just researching, and developing.

I've been out there for 2 hours trying to get the bottom right nut to go back onto the aspire booster. No luck so far and I can't feel my fingers anymore so I guess i will try again in the morning.

You might try putting a magnet, one with a strong pull, in a socket to hold the nut. I've had good luck with that as they will really hang on to the nut. I've found craft stores here sell them in 3 or 4 sizes. The weak magnets do not hold well at all.

or silly putty. or gummy weatherstripping cord. or gummy bears!

Chewing gum works too

The problem is i can't get the right angle to get it to thread back on.

^^hence my earlier post lol

When I swapped my booster, I used a lot of swearing, it helped :lol:

it's not fun but you gotta try and squeeze your hand in there just right way to start the nuts

Chewing gum works too

Hahah we say chewie

Yes. Wobbles and universal joints have made this task much easier. Just one more to go. Well worth the 12 bucks i spent at harbor frieght today. Now I think putting it back on will be the real hard part.

What is a wobbles?? I'm trying to switch out my brake booster, with an Aspire one, on Silver Streak & for the life of me I can't get to the upper right nut or lower right nut with just the universal!

The female end (where the bolt or nut goes) has a ball attached and "wobbles", like a universal, inside what would normally be the female end that attaches to the ratchet. This tool takes less space than a universal. Look it up on Harbor Freights web site or google wobble socket.

Don't ask questions, just buy one.
