They do pull back, a tiny bit, due to the O-ring (square cross-section) puck seals. But they usually still drag a little, in part because the pad is free to lean against the rotor if it likes. > shop if possible and keep them for spares.

They _can_ be turned, but they should not be unless they are grossly damaged _and_ are not already too thin. Minor ridging is not a problem, new pads will bed to it, and in fact may even brake better because there is more surface area. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
