Caliper O-Ring for ATE rear caliper for 1976 280C W114
So I got home Sat. night and I had a few boxes of goodies from Pelican Parts waiting for me. Rotors, caliper rebuild kits, pads.
While rebuilding my rear caliper and by the way one piston was frozen in there which was a huge PITA to get out; one of the O-Rings on the caliper (while split open) popped out, gone and never to be found. Where can I get these? Can these be just regular O-Rings or are they specific?

As it turned out, Pelican Parts has the O-Rings. I called them and they helped me out. I'm getting 8 and replacing them on all corners.

Are you referring to the square o rings that seal the caliper halfs?

Good to know. I know it is not recommended to split the halfs but it sure makes it easier to service.

Getting the pistons out in order to replace the inner O-Ring and also pressing the piston back after new O-Ring was in place was easier for me with the calilpers split.
