Brakes "Sticking" - rebuild ?
 Car: 1993 500SEL and 1992 190E 2.6The brake pads are wearing uneven. This suggests to me that a caliber (piston) is “sticking”, or just not moving smoothly. My choices – rebuild or replace. I’ve been told FastLane has the rebuild kits for the calibers. Is rebuilding the brake calibers a “big” job? With some American type cars, years ago, I simply removed the brake calibers and pumped the breaks – soon the piston popped out. I replaced the rubber and reassembled all. Do the Mercedes follow the same design? Pictures and hints are appreciated. Your thoughts and comments are appreciated.
