Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / August 2006changing front brakes on 300 sdl
hi...i'm going to change the brakes on my 86 300 sdl but i'm not sure as to what i am doing ....i can get the old pads off easy but i can't get the new once in...what i did was i took the pins out and the clip off and was able to remove the old pads but the new ones won't fit in they are to thick...what am i doing wrong any help would be great or a link to a how to page would be even better thanks will The calipaer piston needs to be pushed back. I don't recall how W126 looks like but I use a big C-clamp for all the cars I have maintained (10 or so, no two alike). > hi...i'm going to change the brakes on my 86 300 sdl but i'm not sure as to > what i am doing ....i can get the old pads off easy but i can't get the new [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > page would be even better > thanks will Use a big screwdriver and push the piston all the way back... do one side at a time. > hi...i'm going to change the brakes on my 86 300 sdl but i'm not > sure as to what i am doing ....i can get the old pads off easy but [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > would be great or a link to a how to page would be even better > thanks will Take the cap off of the master cylinder. With the master cyl. cap loose not off and bleeder slightly open with a hose on it leading to a container, take a 'turkey baster' or sme such device and remove some of the old brake fluid. If you do not do you may put presure on the piston (with a c-clamp) and when piston gives way (breaks free of the built up crud) forces blake fluid back up to the master cyl. and you have a mess that will remove paint. thanks for your help everyone...fronts are done backs are next > With the master cyl. cap loose not off and bleeder slightly open with a > hose on it leading to a container, take a 'turkey baster' or sme such > device and remove some of the old brake fluid.
