When I removed the top cylinders and the two silver plungers, I used a flashlight to look down into the fluid filled passage for the brass coned plungers. I could see the tip of one, but the other was not visible, it was broken off and laying sideways. After pulling the two parts from the receptacle with needle nose pliers, the part had a clean break and straight, no bends in the shaft. I believe this happened at the time of the original assembly time by the supplier/vendor and just passed it along to Karmann for installation into my SRT6.
When I installed the new parts, I made sure the brass and silver plungers fit properly before I installed the top cylinder covers to complete the job. There wasn't any oxidation/corrosion on the old parts.
Just a heads-up to anyone doing this repair, make sure the brass plungers are whole before installing the new parts.
