<E28> Clutch helper spring

Today I step into my 535i and on clutch and hear a sprong. Look down and
see a nut on the floor. Ignore and step on clutch again and more parts
fall out. Switch to (t)rusty Volvo.
Later I look at the BMW and see that the little rod holding the clutch
helper spring has snapped in half (dropping all the parts onto the floor
mat).
Q: Is this really neccesary? Clutch doesn't feel much different, but
suppose spring could help bracket life (just had that welded in March)
and help with bleeding.
Q: Has anyone else replaced this? It is real tight up there and it looks
like it could be a bear to install.
