I have a rear brake caliper on my 1985 300TD wagon that was sticking and getting real hot. I was able to detach the brake line, then broke the bleeder screw that was very rusted, and after some light tapping with a hammer, and jimmying with a screwdriver, I was able to free the seized pistons and get the old brake pads out. Then I tried to remove the 2 large bolts that hold the caliper on (if I'm correct) and they were not moving for anything. This is likely the original caliper. Any thoughts or tricks on how to remove the old caliper so I can put a new on in? This is my first experience with brake work.
