It’s had a new one only recently. Looks lovely and shiny, with a braided hose too.
My other option is of course to remove it and poke a long screwdriver down the hole to work out the length so that the rod can rest at the stop position at one end and just touching the bearing release lever at the other.

But I’d be happier knowing the rod was the OEM length!

As for when the bolt first appeared my black MB had a bolt, but that could have been put there by Phil Payne instead of the (roll pin?)
