Has anyone ever needed to replace hmmwv internal caliper parts like;
The piston thrust washer and face plate?
and the simple wave washer?

And the E-brake thrust washer.

these look like standard off the shelf parts?
Thanks in advance,

I had to rebuild one of mine for a sticking parking brake lever. I didn't have to replace the parts you mentioned, just cleaned them up and used a caliper rebuild kit for all the seals.
Yes, they are very likely standard off the shelf parts; you just need to figure out what they match in the civilian world. The parts manual doesn't give part numbers for them, so not very easy to cross reference.

Here are the available parts (seals mostly)

I rebuilt all mine and many of those parts aren't sold individually so you have to use what ya got. Luckily mine were in good shape. Check with Hummerpartsguy and if he doesn't have it I doubt anyone will. His prices are good too.

I am gonna try and clean them up. I might measure up the thrust bearings and see what I might find from SKF or Timken bearings. The one on the piston only had 3 balls. I wonder why so few? It just has to take an axial load and rotate.
the other side used a better roller thrust bearing.

YouTube has several decent videos on how to source parts and rebuild rear and front calipers.
