Hi,

I have read the article in the DIY section about E class brake pads replacement. I have also successfully replaced both the front and rear brake pads in several W124 cars.

I took off the wire spring and removed the two 7 mm Allen bolts. Then I got stumped. There does not seem to be a place I can push the piston back. Also does the caliper have to be removed? It seems that once the two Allen bolts are removed, the caliper should come off but it would not move a bit.

On the W124, I only remove one bolt then the caliper just rotate out of the way for the pad to be removed. this one seems to be totally different.

Any help is appreciated.
