unless I want protection from dust dirt and grime

^ thanks alot man. i appreciate comments like that. nothing like a good old moral booster.

and talking about boosters i reused my stock one but swapped out my BMC today in favor of a z31 BMC to complement my brakes. i think out of all the upgrades i did on the car the brakes have been the easiest. i just need to bleed the lines now and we are good.

its on there pretty good. i would put it in a vise and just pull on the reisvor. it is only held inplace with 2 little rubber rings..

when i assembled my new one i just popped it in. so the old one should just pop out of the BMC
