Brake Cylinder Stopper - How tight do you adjust it?

To all the guys with this part, how tight do you put it? As tight as possible? Because mine just keeps tightening and tightening, decided to stop just incase i damaged something.

un do it.

once u see the actual brake booster starting to flex the firewall, you would want to stop.

Tight enough that it doesn't flex... but loose enough that it doesn't flex :P

you should tighten it until there is a tiny amount of pressure on the booster.. Dont forget that this is just preventing flex, not reinforcing the firewall :)
