The car is a 1980 (W116) 300SD Turbo diesel. Has anyone run into this issue and fixed it themselves in here? Is there a way to just disconnect that break? HELP!!!!
Not sure what you mean by disconnecting that "brake". If you mean remove the caliper to replace, then yes. Two bolts hold the caliper on plus the brake line. Check around, you can buy a rebuilt caliber for about $40 bucks plus your core.
