So exactly that, I went to tweak up the brakes (stock bianchi reparto corse calipers) and the barrel adjust wont budge, nor will it after soaking in WD40. The balck plastic bit wont slide up to enable it to turn the screw.

Any idea or can you get these as spares from anywhere? My google fu doesn't appear to be able to track them down.
