BRAKE PROBLEM!!! HELP!! Anyone who gets SA hookup..please help
Yeah I admit I was stupid, I changed my own brakes ...everything was easy on my 2004. Time came to change my gf's (2005)...shoot! different caliper...whats even worst, the place we ordered the pads from sent us the pads for non-sport packaged 2005 C230K. I took the pins out...slided out the pads...I didnt even compare with the old pads...I tried to put the new one in...I was like wtf? wont go in...so I stupidly took out the two bolts of the caliper so I can inspect a little bit and there goes my nightmare....I did not know it was sealed and I broke it the seal like a virgin....she starts bleeding and I go SHIEETT!!!!!!...too late. I f*cked it up.
The car now runs with no front driver's brake...I need to have it towed. Towed to a shop and they were going to order the caliper rebuild kit....waited almost a week now..they called the dealer and was told that Germany has stopped making those rebuild kit?! So what is my option?? I have to buy new caliper $580??? Can someone show me the way to heaven? I am just going straight to hell myself. Any one know some cool SA who can hook it up? GUYS PLEASE HELP!!!
