Does this look normal? Brake Boost
Does this look normal to you? I'm about to replace the master brake cylinder and noticed that the rod came out as well. I cleaned it up and it looks okay but I'm wondering if it's supposed to do that.

hmm. I went digging through my inventory of parts and found another booster from an SE I once had. It did the same thing. Rod, rubber gasket and metal washer all came out in my hand with little or no force.
I'm going to do as you suggested and cross my fingers that it holds the vacuum. I won't have the car running for a while so I'll have to put it together, get the car running, and then test out the brakes. Thanks.
