Exclamation wow I messed up!
I feel like a real idiot right now. I removed one of the bolts from my front caliper to clean it up (rusty). Brake fluid leaked out and now I need to bleed it. Unfortunately, I cant find any help on this issue. The only thing I can find is to take it to a Mercedes repair shop. Been working on vehicles for over 20 years now, but never Mercedes. Is there any diy brake bleeding advise anyone can give me. Now the car just beeps at me and is in limp mode. Closest repair shop is over 100 miles away from me. If I could just fix it where I am, with some advise it would be greatly appreciated.

can you go rent or buy a brake bleeder aka vaccuum pump? that should let you pull fluid through.
