Default Brake Booster grommet

I have a slight vacumm leak coming from the power brake booster where to vacuum line from the carb goes in. I have wedged a piece of wood which pushes enough on the grommet to seal it up. I received a new grommet and am ready to replace it.

Does anyone have advice on how to remove the old grommet?

I thought cutting it and removing with pliers but I don't want any pieces falling inside.

Thanks,

Tom

It pulls right out. Remove the check valve from the grommet then the grommet from the booster 30 seconds and you are done.

Thanks Duke,

That was just too easy, the check valve didn't want to come out so I thougt it would be harder than it was.
