Brake pad replacement
A little help please. I purchased Textar front and rear brake pads from Fastlane. The rear pads were a snap to replace. However, the front sets were a problem. The vehicle is a '83 300 CD. The problem being the pads are too thick to fit. I have pushed the caliper piston all the way in. The pad seems to be about .063" too thick. Has anyone had this problem with Textar pads before? In my attempt to compress the piston into the bore, a circular metel "shim"came off the caliper piston. Is this a MB shim? And, is it required to be replaced? I can pickup MB pads from the local dealer. I just really don't want to pay that price.
Thanks for your advise in advance.
