Just a note to the wise.

If you are going to replace the Calipers, do not buy them from O`Reilly`s.
I just went through this on my 80 240D.
They may say they are ATE`s, and maybe they sort of look like an ATE, but when bolted on, the Rotor will not turn.

Go to NAPA, and you will get ATE`s with the MB star. Painted a nice Purdy shinny black. Come with new brake hardware.
Around $67 and a $35 core if you don`t have cores to give them.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
