Hey Guys,

I was doing a routine front brake pad replacement on my 83 300D when I ran into some problems. I could not push in one of the pistons in to insert the pad. I have done this in the past and have never had a problem. I usually get by with using the old pad and a couple of C-Clamps to push the piston in. One piston I could push in by hand but the other I could not get to push in. I tried opening the bleen valve thinking I can push it in and force the fluid out but it did not work. I ended up removing the caliper but still could not move the piston once it was on the bench. Does anyone have any insite on this problem, has it happened to them? Can I rebuild the piston or do I have to buy a new one? Can I get a use one?

Thanks,
Rene
