Re: [diesel_mercedes] Ceramic Brake pads

 

I put on the front ceramic brake pads on today, along with the new
hydraulic brake hoses, while I bled the brakes, greased the bearings,
and adjusted the parking brakes. The rear pads weren't the right ones;
I'll see if I can send them back to rock auto.

ok, not giving up yet...local salvage yard had a new wiper carriage - sent my eldest to retrieve it as am out of town - $70 pre-paid - waiting for me
at home...have already got the old one out and it clearly failed - however now I'm having the windshield replaced as its the orig (still has MB factory sticker) and is pitted beyond safe driving in winter glare conditions - so the AutoLite glass guy shows up to swap and says the gasket has to be replaced and which isn't covered under my insurance claim. I'll deal with that later, but do want to proceed - seeking recommendation on sourcing a new gasket and trim clips. I know there's lots of places to order from, but where will I get the best quality gasket/seal and can I even get new trim clips? 

Will spend my Mem. day weekend diagnosing the vacuum pump, but she'll be back on the road this week - thanks to all for reminding me I don't want to part with this thing just yet :-)
