[W126 Coupe] Parking brake release handle

[Mike R.]

One suggestion - open the bleed valve on the caliper when it comes time to
push the pistons back and you'll push out the fluid that has been sitting in
the caliper assembly all that time, the fluid that has been heated the most.

 

Later,

Mike R.

Doug,

Doing the brakes is actually quite easy on our SECs. I don't remember the
exact steps off hand (might be in the archives), but after taking off the
wheels with the car jacked up, you need to remove two pins that hold the
retain spring/clip in place, take out the spring/clip, pull the pads out,
pull off the sensor wires, push the pistons in so you can install the new
pads (with some fluid taken out of the brake reservoir), then install new
pads with anti-squeal paste and new sensor wires (just plug into pads and
sensor itself), reinstall spring/clip and pins and you are pretty much done.

Markus
