2004 e500 wagon 4matix
Brake caliper slide bolts
Hello Friends,
I am having the time of my life trying to replace the brake pads on my 2004 E500 wagon
My caliper bolts are stuck. PO has them fastened with Torx bolt T40?
They will not budge at all. I’ve sprayed it down with penetrating oil and nothing. Applied heat. Etc.
Any suggestions please…

Warmest Regards,
john

Now hear me out on this...... Are you turning it the correct way?

I'd recommend you use a impact driver, a real one.

1. Use a high heat heat gun
2. Use a long breaker bar (like 18" or longer)
3. Use a jack stand to push the breaker bar up (last resort)
