[W126 Coupe] service CDs

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Markus:

You have the Bendix calipers on that 86.  Be sure and replace the 
anti-rattle springs with the flat spring plates if that's not already 
been done.  The original 'wire' springs will cause caliper slide failure 
where one pad will continue to wear and the other stops all movement on 
the caliper rail.
