A001 431 26 87 Girling A000431 90 87 Teves Motive mentions 10-15 PSI in their info I think. When you finally get to this you only need a couple pounds of pressure, 5 PSI works fine just a little slower. Too much pressure can pop the reservoir off the master cylinder of some cars. |

I had the same issue: even after totally removing the bleeder no fluid would come out (and I was using a Motif power bleeder with 30psi). The bleeder port in the caliper was clogged. A piece of wire unclogged it and fluid started flowing out. If this is your case, I recommend you to do a complete overhaul of your calipers. You will be surprised on how much debris/corrosion you will find in there. I removed my calipers, pumped the pistons out with compressed air, and cleaned the pistons, bores and all passages. Surprisingly to me, I didn't need to replace any seals, it all went back with the original seals and I had no leaks.

Good news!
Went to the dealer who had two replacement caps; cost about $12.
Hooked up the Motive bleeder and set the pressure at about 10psi. Worked brilliantly! I now have strong brakes again. Thanks everyone!

Be diligent if you're going to pop the pistons out of your calipers to refurbish them. Some pistons, even though they're round, need to be oriented properly when you put them back in. I think there's even some Mercedes special tool/templates to assist in positioning them.

And, compared to the dealer, you paid for the Motive bleeder about 5 times over with one use!
