Default Brake Boost pieces inside??

Hi
was changing the worn out check valve and a piece or two fell down in the boost - what is in there to worry about the pieces being down in there - or do I have to take the boost off and get them out of there?

If they are good sized chuncks I'd get them out. They'll rub a hole in the rubber diapharm.
The booster only has 2 bolts holding it together. Oh, There's a BIG spring in there to. It's easy to take a part if it's a plastic one.
While you have it open look at the edges of the diapharm. That is where they usually rub a hole in them over time. You can get new diapharms for about $30.
