Don'y feel too bad, I've broken 3 BRAND NEW ADJUSTERS!!  Very sick feeling
when they all had to be ordered one at at time from the dealer.  also wwhen
they ask yo u why you need another, well you just admit to being Neanderthal
at that point.   BTW, the screw and the plastic ends as a unit is the only
way to get them period.
