I had good service from rebuilts I got at Advance Auto. I think I paid around $80 each. I'd gotten them there because I was in a bind and needed calipers right away. That was my '83 240D which I then put 30,000 miles on. One caliper did fail but the guys at Advance swapped me under the lifetime warranty with no hesitation or problems at all.
For everything else (rotors and pads) I used PBR from Rusty (now Trent) and again had no complaints. Might as well replace the front wheel bearings while you've got it apart. You'll want to at least repack them since you have to take them out to get the rotor off but I figure the bearings are cheap so on a new-to-me car I'd replace them... -Curt Date: Fri, 3 May 2013 20:48:17 -0500 From: Dieselhead <126die...@gmail.com> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Fw: Trying to get on the Okiebenz list Message-ID: <a06240816cdaa182b535a@[192.168.1.51]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Call Trent @ 800 741 5252 tell im what you need. You can probably buy used calipers form car-part.com, or buy rebuilts at FLAPS. I would guess you need rotors. I would for sure replace all the hoses to the calipers. THose swell shut with age and/or DOT 3 brake fluid. Most likely you need a new master cyl also. Don't ever put anything BUT DOT 4 brake fluid in your MB. Unless you switch over to DOT 5. (silicon) DON'T use DOT 5e _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
