Double Check my brake work - 83 240D
 

Hey,

So I haven't actually started my brake work, but this is my first time doing something of this magnitude. I need to replace my master cylinder (leaking), brake booster (damaged from leaking master cylinder), brake pads (wear sensor indicator just went off) and rear rotors (dealer says one is warped).

So I want to double check my plan of action with you guys, just to make sure that I'm not missing anything, because the benz is my only car - so once the wheels are off, I'm stuck till it's done. Also, my dad always told me that the more you plan, the less you F-up.

So here is my order of attack:

1. Remove the old master cylinder
2. Remover the old booster
3. Attach new booster
4. Bench bleed new cylinder
5. Attach new cylinder
6. Jack up car
7. Remove rear wheels
8. Remove brake pads
9. Attach new brake pads
10. Remove calipers
11. Remove old rotors
12. Attach new rotors
13. Re-attach calipers
14. Bleed brakes
15. Attach wheels
16. Profit!

Am I missing anything? Any other questions?

I would change both calipers at the same time.
also get new flex lines to the calipers. unless YOU have changed them recently.
