Shimano 600 Brake Return Spring
Hi all,
I was removing the rear brake from my bike and I mistakenly turned the adjusting screw to do it... Well the return spring snapped, surprisingly easily actually, and now my brake is useless.
Please tell me I can buy a replacement spring somewhere. I haven't had much luck googling for a replacement. Am I out of luck?
I am not the smartest man...

If there is a bike co-op/nonprofit near you they probably have either the brake or spring in their used parts collection.

Shimano lists 2 different part #'s EV-BR-6400-0818E.pdf (shimano.com) so not sure what the difference is but found this one. Shimano NOS Bicycle Ultegra Brake Caliper Arch Spring | eBay
Just use the part #'s and do a search and you might find more options and better prices. The 7400 Dura Ace brakes look like they use the same shaped spring as well but use a different part # so can't say for sure. EV-BR-7200_7210 -DURA-ACE EX-0296F.pdf (shimano.com) Maybe some other models use the same spring. You might even be able to substitute an old Campy spring with a little bending.

I will keep my eyes peeled for this part online and replace the brake as a last resort.
Thank you all for your suggestions!
