Working on a 73 Duster and the fitting on the master cylinder is busted. Can I A) buy a new one and B) will the damn thing come out without an hour fight?

The tube nut broke off in the MC? Or is the tube nut broke?

The hose nipples are broke off the cheap plastic fitting that goes into the MC. I shouldn’t be surprised as the car is 47 years old.

Classic Industries has them for Midland produced boosters, grommet too. Try Napa, etc: Rock Auto has listing but out of stock.

I’m also wanting to make sure I can’t kill the MC trying to get the old fitting out. Do I just pry it out of there, or is there some other way to do it?
The MC is good shape and I just don’t want to replace that if I don’t have to.

Are you talking about the one valve in the brake booster?

Pry it out- screwdriver, channel locks. Use metric ones!!

Ok,if the broken piece is still in the rubber grommet , grab it as best you can maybe with vise grips then spray the rubber with plaster and wiggle it out. If it fell inside, not much you can do to remove it. Just put a new valve in it and let it roll. Maybe a picture would help?

It be a lot cooler if you did...
You can get them at your local parts store. I belive they are in the help section. I just replaced the one on the Duster recently. I got the gromet and the check valve at Oriellys.
