Otto , yep its all confusing - R45 ,our local parts Store which is associated with Orielly's Autoparts does not have them and when they check the "system" it shows they are discontinued.

R44- they checked and there are plenty of R44 at their warehouse/distributor. May be old stock, like you said.

The R45S ( has an extended tip ) is readily available.

Amazon does list the R45 as available . As a test I placed some in my "basket" and they were going to let me purchase them . So ho is that possible, right?
