Kenlin HD Drawer Socket

My Thomasville furniture employs the heavy duty (32-082) drawer socket. Seems the plastic piece snaps on to the metal frame. I was able to snap it on and off metal frame without any problem. May I purchase plastic piece only (32-081) and re-use the metal drawer socket frame?

The 32-082 heavy duty Kenlin socket is the 32-081 plastic socket covered with a metal guard. I have not heard of anyone reusing the metal guard because they are a fairly new product by Kenlin, but I do not see why it would not work because the plastic socket is the same.
