Long story short

Just get the new master from the store. That is all the "satisfaction" you will get. Toss it in the trash if it makes you feel better.

When I had a WIX filter come apart & take out the rod bearings, WIX sent me a new filter. Not even an apology. ONE new filter.

Just the way it is. Be glad you did not hit anybody, the finger pointing would be awful...
