85 300TD Turbo:
I was changing the front brake pads last night and discovered that after replacing the inner pad on the r/f caliper the outer pad was having trouble coming out. The outer piston is stuck. The caliper is a Girling or Bendix not Teves. I finally got the pad removed and tried to compress the piston w/o luck. Both pads are worn evenly. What could cause the piston to seize other than rust/dirt? A friend suggested an "airlock"? The caliper shows no signs of leakage. Should I try bleeding the system? Thanks for your time. Alec. |
On occasion, we can get them to come loose by taking loose the bleeder screw and prying on the piston with a big bar. They will break though.
You may need to get new calipers up front, if so, bleed the system well after fluid renewal. ------------------ Benzmac: Donnie Drummonds 1991 GMC Syclone ASE CERTIFIED MASTER AUTO TECHNICIAN SERVICE MANAGER FOR 14 BAY FACILITY MERCEDES SPECIALIST 8 YRS PARTNER IN MERCEDESSHOP.COM |
