521 brake adjuster housing

[blackdeth666]

While trying to free the stuck brake adjuster, the little notch on the back broke off! I probably could have avoided this by not being a gorilla but its my first time doing brakes on the truck... Is this part available? I havent had much luck looking online. Is it interchangeable with other datsun/nissans? theres not much for 521s at the pull-a-parts around here. Help! I need to get my driver back on the road.

Rockauto.com has em for $8. Listed as rears, but part numbers show the front and rears as the same. Also its the same as 620's and 720's if you wanna find used.

If you need it real soon Brodster and Datwifey Seem to know where all the 521s around your area are.. Maybe PM them

 

I have had real good luck with Rockauto also, but it takes a few days. Sometimes they send stuff from somewhere in Auburn WA area and i have gotten it in a day..

 

( edit ) .......OOps.. and Tdaaj probably has one .

Rock auto has brake adjusters for $8?? Why is there a set on ebay for $114? Why did I pay $40 from Nissan and they said it was one of the last available? Why can't I see them listed?

Wow! I really wish i'd have seen that 10 months ago. I had the same issue as the original post accept it was like that when I bought the truck. Looked all over, called yards etc. Broke down and bought from Nissan. $$$$$:(

 

Oh well.
