Help E350 Front Brake job Part II
So I accidentally removed the caliper bolts (on inside) instead of the mounting bolts. When I tapped the push pins, they separated the inside part of the caliper from the main. Fluid leaked out until I retightened.
I finished up the job, replace rotors and pads on the front and called a mobile brake company to come flush the fluid as the pedal was going down to the floor (no doubt caused by air in the system).
The technician indicated that he couldn't bleed the brakes because the abs actuator wasn't engaging / turning on and theorized that was because air had gotten into it.
Any thoughts on what I should do next? Is this now a dealer issue? Can the actuator be bled? etc.
Help....

Do you think you'll get the answer you want to hear if you keep making new threads about it?
You ****ed up, take it to the dealer or an indy with Star/Das/Xentry and have them fix it.
