The Cardone calipers I bought from Rusty have worked well ever since, but installing them was a little weird. I grabbed the usual metric wrenches and sockets and soon had them both installed, but when it came to the bleeder valves, none of the wrenches fit. Cardone had drilled and rethreaded th

Hmm, life-saving brakes, get the cheapest parts possible, or maybe check around with a few other dealers to see what prices are out there... On June 23, 2015 1:04:33 PM EDT, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > > And yes, I am usually a purist about parts but in this

No flames here - I'm with you all the way on this one. I would do the same, much as I did with the S420 alternator recently. This is the one gripe I have with Advance, which has two stores within 4 miles of my house. If the part isn't in stock at a store, you can't order and pick it up from the

I got some rebuilds from Jabba for a bit less than that I think but there is the core issue (I have 2 I need to return for some $$). You'll probably have to take the old one back to the auto parts store so they can also send it to some 3rd-world hellhole to be rebuilt by child slaves, no biggie
