    Nothing special about that plug. Go to autozone or any other parts store and ask they should have one.

    Also, make sure you adjust your parking brake as well. The drum brakes "self adjuster" works off it. If it is too loose you will lose a LOT of rear brake performance. Mine was waaaay loose and the simple matter of tightening it up helped cure mushy brake pedal feel and brake performance.

    The adjuster nut is located under the gearshift console (you should be able to lift it right up). Tighten to 7 clicks on the parking brake.

    Revival time! Up til relatively recently the 3 plugs on each backing plate have been available individually. I have purchased singles. But now they come only in a set of 6, 3 for each side. The kits part number is 04949-13010.

    This is part of a general trend by ToMoCo to make repair parts as part of an assembly or kit whereas a simple part becomes expensive and more profitable for Toy.

    I had to buy the “kit” and still have 5 of the 6 plugs left. If you need any let me know and we’ll figure something out.
