My brake lights came on but after I took the old pads off, I saw the rubber dust caps gummy and one of the heat shield came off. I took one of the calipers off and in my hurry lossened one of the bolts that hold the 2 halves together. The bore & piston are fine. I would not mind putting remanufactured calipers but can't find Mercedes remanufactured calipers outside dealers. Any suggestioin welcome and the toque values of the 11.9 bolts that hold the caiper haves together. Thanks

RE- Seal kits should be available almost anywhere for the calipers! MB number 000-420-15-44

Re-torque that bolt 45-50ftlbs. Don't unbolt the halves or YOU will need a special square-cut seal that only ATE dealers can get!
