Rebuilt or used caliper. If the fluid is that bad you may have DOT3
fluid in there, and that means you need new hoses to the calipers
too. (indicated by a slow bleed, or no bleeding without pedal
pressure.) Swolen hoses act as a check valve to keep pressure on the
brakes all the time, ruining pads and wasting fuel
Began working on my recently acquired '83 300D. The brakes are weak
so I started with that project. The brake fluid was coffee colored
so I decided to flush the system. Bled the passenger rear but the
driver rear was tight. It rounded a bit so I switched to vise grips.
The screw snapped right off. It was the only 8 millimeter size on
the car, all others are 9.
It looks too small for my Craftsman easy-out set to work. Looks like
I will have to drill it out. It will be a pain to remove the caliper
and drain the system. Any easy methods to remove it?
