Repair, no.

Replace yes. Gm only. (Lemforder supplier) don't fit pattern, they are shit. Sorry, but they really are.

Can be a bugger to remove though. As always there is a guide. But I used an air hammer to get mine off.

I found one on Ebay for $141. I also found diagram, which shows bushing separately. I'll call dealer tomorrow.
How much is it in UK?

We pay around $50 ish for a new part.

If you can find somebody who machines nylon then you can make up a new insert.
