You can CAREFULLY push the bucket down with a flat-tipped screwdriver and sneak the shim out with a magnet, in regards to my former Corolla and Protege
And as George mentioned, many/most of the dealers that SHOULD have those shims in stock do not
And the parts counter guy ALWAYS gives you a no-charge . . . and unwanted . . . wise-ass remark, such as “Nobody EVER asks for shims.” Or the even more idiotic remark “Valves are only supposed to be adjusted when they’re noisy.”"
