Question on Rebuilding Brake Calipers
I may have to repair the front calipers on my car. The rebuild kit looks
to have an O-Ring, a Seal, and some sort of plate. ( ********AZ pic ) Do you check for pitting / corrosion, clean, and put new parts in? Or is there more to it? Didn't see a thread on this. Thanks ---------------------- 1984 MB 300 SD Turbo

The ATE kit will come with instructions.

One mistake on brakes is not acceptable.. the first time you do this you need to get someone that knows what they are doing to show you or supervise you.

I wasn't doing this myself. Wanted to get info before going to indy shop. Didn't know if Mercedes needed something special.
That's why I ask if the unit is clean, will it only take the o-ring & seal? ---------------------- 1984 MB 300 SD Turbo

If the caliper pistons and bores are okay (ie: not pitted or scored), it's just a matter of cleaning things up and replacing the seals, dust boots and heat shields. The only thing that is a little "special" is that the pistons need to installed at a specified angle. Also, the caliper halves should not be disassembled.
