No, it wasnt just you... it was others as well. I was not even 100% sure how to get the hose off... I guess both ends simply turn with a wrench of that size.

I may end up selling it anyway, I just wanted to get this fixed... brakes have been about the only problem this car has give me and its always that right rear. It did this before, then when I replaced the pads, it stopped for awhile, but since the weather has turned cool again (in the 60s and below) it seems to have started back up. Seems to be outdoor temperature related, unless its just a coincidence. It dont always stick either.

Maybe a new owner, someone that knows more about these Mercedes may have better luck than I have had. I just dont have time or money to blow on this and that to get it fixed. I am having that current problem with my Lexus... the power steering system has been giving me a fit and costing me a fortune. I have been told its this and that, then no one knows, then I replace and clean this and that. I was able to get the leak fixed though... myself. I am now awaiting the arrival of a new rack solenoid... another guessing game. Hopefully it is my stiff steering issue.

Thanks for the info/replies.

I'd hate to see you waste money and time, but the hoses are cheap enough I guess.

Good luck
