When will I learn?
Called Pelican Parts today but the Mercedes specialist was not working. Maybe tomorrow.
Here is a pic of the old caliper. One side piston flat and the other pouched out about 3/4 inch. Not sure it can be rebuilt. Was thinking about trying as Pep Boys core charge is only $4 but with Pelican charging $30 for core do not think it is worth the chance.

Amazing, do you think Pep Boys and O`Reilly`s might have the same supplier?
Did you read post #5 where I had my problems? I posted a picture showing where it was tight against the Rotor.
I loosened it up a bit and turned the Rotor and heard the scraping sound.
Then saw the line in the rust on the Rotor.
Go to NAPA and have them order you two ATE Calipers. You will have them in a day or so. Be sure to order the Pads and Hoses.
I was replacing mine because the L/F out side seal blew fluid.
