[W126 Coupe] the brake thing again

[phillandkat williamson]

Gidday there.
yeah splitting the calliper prob was'nt the best thing to do but not the end of the world.
Bleeding the brakes will be nessary now, starting from the rear wheel futherest from the master cylinder making sure that the master does'nt run dry not so hard but easier if you have a compressor and buy a vacum bleeder.
Any dot 4 will do abs wont affect it.
The uneven wear is from the pins that the calliper slides on being sticky. get some calliper greese (looks like copper grease) slide the calliper back off and liberaly grease the pins and re-assemble.
good luck from phill.

i probably need calipers....the car has 218 k and are probably the same ones.  the pads where worn unevenly.  primarily the inner pad was further down than the outer and the left front pads weren't worn down as much as the right wheel.
 
does this help any...
 
any advise/suggestions    thanks guys
