A lot of WD-40 and a nice, sharp new pair of Vise Grips.

Looks like that site still has them. Search the part number and see if maybe you find any other more preferable sources.

Not sure how you'll do the upgrade without the 302mm bracket. No dealership will have them, only source will be used. I sold a used pair for $200 + shipping.
