02 E450 rear brakes
Anyone do their own brakes? I had the rear brakes on my 02 not release. By the time I got stopped they were smoking. After sitting for a while I was able to complete my short trip. I removed the calipers when I got home, and found they were oversize , and stuck in the caliper, I guess from the heat. The pistons are made of a fiber material. I installed new pistons, and seals. I don't mind telling you the outer seals were very hard to get back on. I have a question: The calipers are held in place with a stainless steel rail (what I call it) Should these metal rails be lubed? reason they looked very shinny like the didn't need anything? any thoughts?
