Well........they're "out there" somewhere, Larry.  I've already spent way too much of my time searching and I'm sure that your Google/Bing/eBay/Amazon/Rockauto search skillz are as good as mine. Sooooo..........rots of ruck!!  <thumbup>

problem solved-this method worked well.the adjuster is a press fit and requires care so as to not damaged it.also best to check its operation per shop manual before assembling the caliper.[Image: p5pb25120424.jpg][Image: p5pb25120407.jpg][Image: p5pb25120408.jpg][Image: p5pb25120405.jpg][Image: p5pb25120423.jpg][Image: p5pb25098251.jpg]this is a good article but has no mention of swapping the piston self adjuster.https://www.svocop.com/Articles/2/index.html

SOOOO..........all you needed to do was to screw a bolt into that piston-mounted "adjuster" and pull it out?? If the hole in that adjuster passes all the way thru (not "blind") ~ you also could've just bottomed the bolt against the inside/back of the piston and kept tightening it.....thus forcing the adjuster out.

If you can still post to that thread on SVOCOP (unlikely, as it's probably locked), you should tell Mike Fleming (the administrator) to add that to his destructions. If not, do likewise by contacting him via "Report Thread", etc..   <headslap>
