Yea i tried that before i put on the make a gasket.
It worked horribly. It was shooting brake fluid as soon as i installed it. I was able to chip off the JB with my fingernail.

Well i yanked out the part (again) and on the bottom side of the service plate the gasket had literally blown out. The gasket had literally torn in half at the bottom and was sticking out of the plate. This time i did something a little different. Instead of cutting the make a gasket in a circle in the middle i just put a solid square with the bolt holes punched out. That way the gasket itself is structurally stronger and wont blow out so easily under pressure.
I can literally swap this part out in 20 min now lol
