Parking brake help needed on a 420sel w126.

I was bleeding the brake with a motive bleeder. I depressed the parking brake pedal so that the car wouldn't move while I work on the bleeding. Now the brake pedal won't come back up. I stomp it many times hoping it would come back up but now it is stuck to the floor.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Hmm.... You have a problem indeed.


What happened that made you decide to bleed the system? Maybe that will help us figure out what happened.

Wait, did you mean the parking brake is stuck down or the main brake?

The park brake pedal on a 126 is released via a release handle under the left side of the dash on a 126.

Our parking brakes are not like some makes where you push them to release.

You must use the parking brake release to disengage the Parking brake.

Thanks.

How stupid of me. I keep thinking this is my wife's lexus which one has to stomp on the parking brake to lock and release it. Mercedes is my back up car in which I've been working on, doing the front rotors and pads. It wasn't bled properly the first time by me.

Gotta show the durability of Mercedes W126s. If you stomped that lexus parking brake pedal like that, it probably would have snapped in two.
