Hi I recently discovered that my left front calliper has not been gliding properly and it destroyed the outer pad metal on metal no indication just grinding started. I have Brembo kit from https://europarts-sd.com/item.asp?PID=2542. Tore into it today to find both Dual calipers have holes in the lower piston cover and they dont look good inside so looking at the Bosch replacements for 16 inch on europarts. What luck do you all have with these parts? I think they are rebuilds. left one was sticky on the slider - but im thinking a new caliper will fix that. Is it worth just rebuilding mine_ I dont see an y pits or srapes thru the holes in the rubber - But my experience if they have been open there are issues. looks like $70 bucks in parts to rebuild vs the $149 on the europarts site.
Should I also replace the brake line rubber since im in here? They are only 24 bucks. Not leaking just wondering if im opening another can of worms with breaking a line off or something if they ceese. Is there any restriction to flushing the system with a harbor freight style break pump? Did not know if mercedes does anything on that side.
ALSO - Wheel bearings - My van has 225k on it orig hubs I think. They have a very slight tiny bit of play is that normal - both sides are same and just a little resistance on turn with out rotor on them. I dont want to do those unless you all feel they should be absolutely no play and bearngs may need attention.
My rear emergency break is non existant - but rear breaks look like thy are at 50%
Thank you!
