1989 Mercedes Benz 420sel Brake repair
Brakes problem
1989 Mercedes Benz 420sel V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 147000 miles
My 1989 420SEL M/B has a brake fluid leak on one of the front calipers.
1. Can i get by with replacing the leaking caliper, or will I need to replace both front calipers at the same time?
2. Do I need to "prime" the caliper before installing or can I just simply bleed until all the air is gone?
3. Any special tools, like a suction pump to bleed the system?

you can replace just the faulty caliper. bleed the system after installing it. you can manually bleed the system, no need for pressure pump .
