Torque specs from shop manual (brake repair)
Hello,
I do not have the W203 MB shop manual (on CD) anymore, and would appreciate it very much if someone in posession of one could look up some information for me for a 2006 C230 Sport Sedan. I was in need of the torque spec for the front and rear caliper bleed valves, and the nominal psi rating for pressure bleeding the system. I recall the information was contained in the section describing bleeding of the service brakes.
Thanks in advance.

Just hand tighten the little bleeder valves, no need to torque them down to a certain setting. Make sure they are snug, but don't overtighten, it's just a valve. Replace the little rubber caps and you're done.
Normal PSI should be from 10-25 PSI if you're using a pressure bleeder if I remember correctly.

I wonder who figured out what the torque spec for a bleed valve should be?
It amazes me that MB has seemingly cataloged a torque spec for every threaded fastener - regardless of it's importance or whether it is part of a bolt pattern. But then, maybe I never looked deep enough in other workshop manuals.
