Draker Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 You can find good used ones in the classifieds if you post a wanted ad. If you are looking for NOS ones.... I have no idea. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 There were also used on the 610 and 710 sedan and wagon. Try asking 610 and 710 owners for a spare. In the classifieds section. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 whats wrong with yours? Cant really go bad but that can bind up. I cleaned mine up then was fine clean them and if the 7mm square is rounded off you could weld a 12 or 14mm(better) nut on there and then adjust it. 3 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Probably what I'll do. Mine are rounded off because.... vice grips. Nissan should have put nuts on them a proper wrench would have fit. 2 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I just removed mine. Broke them free and cleaned all the rust. Little bit of anti-sieze during assy. Good to go. Labor was free. Function is legit. But, if you'd rather waste money... they're still available through Nissan. Part no. 44200-22000 1 Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I did same thing as hainz and flatcat, mine were seized up bad, make sure you apply plenty water resistant grease when you reassemble them. Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 If they are the same as the 410 or 411 quarter inch adjusters, the solution is to take a 1/4 inch drive socket set, pull the 1/4 inch socket. put a 1/4 inch Allen key into the socket and use the 1/4 inch square drive input to slip over the square rear brake adjust and adjust away! Been doing this for 48 years! 4 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Those are way different than the 521s. 1 Quote Link to comment

Been doing this for 48 years! they actually make a square socket it has 8 points and they work great snap on has them and craftsman has them but the craftsman you have to order online they are not available in the store. or at least i have not found them in any sears stores Quote Link to comment

henry Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 On mine the inside threads are stripped (..on right side). I guess I'll have to install a Heli-Coil. Nissan Part No.: 44200-22000 ADJUSTER-BRAKE is no longer available. Too bad. Henry Quote Link to comment

But a quarter inch socket set is a hell of a lot cheaper [pardon, less expensive], is readily available, and has a lot more other uses. If you must order "special order" be my guest!
