I had a W126 that the PO apparently had reused the caliper mounting bolts rather than using new, and failed to use any Loctite. Result was the bolt backed out! That sure caused a clunk. Greg -Original Message- From: Mercedes [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of Floyd

No it just started.  I was at first thinking the guide rod mount but then this thing with having to push the pedal a bit to get it to engage says brake, probably hose, and it got progressively worse as I drove this afternoon, which would not be the bushing. I was thinking of a bunch of little

Sounds like maybe a bum hose. Did this just start or have you been hearing the clunk previously? I ask because that’s also a sign of worn out guide rod mounts. -D > On Apr 19, 2018, at 5:45 PM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes > wrote: > > I was driving the SEC this

I built a pressure bleeder with a $10 garden sprayer (one gallon), a spare brake fluid cap, fittings to attach a hose to the cap (with a hole drilled in the center) and 1/4" OD vinyl hose. Works grate on breaks! FCP has ATE break fluid in 1 L cans for a reasonable price. I bought 4 at a time.

I think a better option would be purchasing a Motive pressure bleeder, so fluid is pushed through the system instead of sucked. Doesn't the ABS pump circuit need pressure vice suction? -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 ___ http://www.okiebenz.com

Wrapping the bleeders in Teflon tape helps to reduce the bubbles, though I'm not sure it's necessary. On Mon, Feb 19, 2018 at 10:58 PM, Jim Cathey via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > > > I was sucking bubbles. > > > Bubbles to be expected, you're sucking air around the bleeder
