This endeavor has gone pretty well except for that last daggum bolt by the brake booster, and I'm hoping once that puppy comes off the rest shouldn't be too bad.

Do you think upon replacing the boot, should I get a new gasket in terms of the cover-plate? As far as I know theres no real problems with it though I haven't been able to check in yet to see if theres a reservoir of oil or not down there, but assuming not - is it one of those gaskets that needs to be replaced once sealed/opened (once put on, tighetened down on top, and then taken back off) like I know head gaskets, etc. are? Or hopefully I ought to be good to go?

I've tried searching a little bit on here through the forums, and thus far it seems like the only solution as for my problem is I ought to get a 7mm gear wrench. You guys think that'll fit no problem? Because it looks like it would have to do a little curve or something the way it all looks, or I just gotta be flexible with my fingers. Good thing I'm a musician! haha. Thanks all

no if it looks good to you i wouldn't replace the gasket unless they have it in stock and you don't trust it?
