warning when attaching calipers to car...

the bolts must be cleaned and all traces of oil and such removed with brake spray, and then fresh BLUE LOCTITE must be used on the bolts that hold the caliper to the spindle...

NEVER USE ANTISIEZE/NEVERSIEZE.... NEVER!!!

those bolts must be either replaced with MB new bolts, or all traces of lube/oil/dirt/old loctite MUST BE REMOVED DOWN TO BARE METAL!!!
and fresh blue loctite put on the threads...
ALWAYS!!!

I just pulled the calipers off Jay_Bob's 98E300D, because whenever he backed up, hit the brakes, then pulled forward and hit the brakes, there would be an ominous CLUNK.
he had me listen to it, and it sounded like caliper noise.
pulled the calipers...

the bolts were assembled with antisieze... I did not need a wrench to remove the driver's side...

wow...
