Does anyone know if you can buy them, as one of the ones in my recently removed BB (pictured) has semi-disintegrated :facepalm:

Re:

Highly unlikely. I've never seen them and I spend a lot of time looking for obscure and obsolete spares.
 
Re:

Alas no. Apart from very early BBs (pre cartridge days) Shimano never intended their BBs to be user serviceable, they were fit, forget then replace.

If very lucky you might be able to cannibalise parts from an other Shimano BB, or even pick up some bits for a Raceface Taperlock which *might* work.

There seems to be a reply missing from my post? Been eaten by the forum gremlins.

Anyway in short

This is pre cartridge UN bottom brackets so is serviceable.

Measure axle and inner cup hole
Check for any details on the seal
