After reading some interesting threads on the B-2 piston failure, I decided to be proactive and get the upgraded part. The dealer ordered the part but I'm missing a piece that I thought would be included (I guess it is not a "kit").

Some good background on the procedure & problem:

This link has a picture of the part I am looking for - it's the white ring plastic piece:

Description:
"The sleeve in which the B2 piston operates was changed from metal to plastic to reduce the possibility of binding (and it is imperative that this sleeve be changed.)"

Anyone know the part # for the sleeve (or if there is in fact a "kit" part number that has the the sleve and the piston?

Thanks!
