be careful to play with the brakes cuz it may break ur fingers due to high pressure, take it to specialized shop and have it checked

good luck

 

1. You are fortunate you did not lose fingers or suffer other injuries. SBC is unforgiving of those not familiar with its workings.
2. Do not work on the car without obtaining technical information and studying it. There is a reason Mercedes spends large sums of money training their technicians to work on the car. You do not have the advantage of that training so you are going to have to buckle down and study. Know your limitations and be prepared to punt service to a professional.
3. Punctuation is your friend; your post was difficult to read.
4. You post in English but mention kilometers; Canada, Australia, Great Britain, South Africa or Europe? Items applicable in one market may not be applicable to others. That affects the advice you will get on this forum.
5. In this case, accept your lesson and take it to a shop to repair.
6. PM me your email address.
