Has anyone successfully found a local parts store that carries the brass brake blocks? I couldn't find any yesterday (checked at NAPA, Autozone, and Oreily's). I need a new left rear brake block after mine broke yesterday when installing a new brake hose.
The hose didn't feel all that tight, and the next thing I knew, it twisted off the part where the hose threads into (and the block is brand new--less than 2 months old).
I ended up ordering a new left rear block from Lone Star Caliper company (as I'll get it in the following business day after shipped--Canton TX is only about 80 miles away from me). Just wondering, as it is frustrating to have to stop everything waiting for the UPS truck to arrive.
