I periodically take apart the removable hollow links on my TT Sub bracelet and clean them. The tiny sleeves that fit in the gold part that cover the screws take a beating but never replaced any. After some neglect I found a couple worn through. According to my Rolex dealer that has Rolex authorized watch maker you have to buy a link assembly i.e. Link, screw and bushing. Is there a source for just a bushing?

The screws and sleeves can be purchased in packs of five separately from the link. I don't have access to the parts site on the weekend, but I can try and remember to look up the part numbers for you on Monday if no one has posted them yet. They're reasonably cheap at least.

Your AD may be incorrect.

One of the points of the ceramic bushing is to save the link from being slowly eaten away from wear. If you needed to replace the link regardless, then it defeats the purpose of the bushing saving it.
