Hi new to forum, I have a 2006 350sl i recently changed the front discs and pads everything went well until i applied the brake
The rear pads stick on both sides and do not release the fronts are ok, This is my first mercedes never had this problem before
I thaught it was possibly the callipers but its both of them am i possibly missing something

Hello and welcome

Might be an issue with the master cylinder?

Hello and welcome

I will check that out, still puzzled why the front calipers are working fine

Hello Bongo

Hi Mark nice sl could not quite stretch to that model

It works off a tandem cylinder where by the first section of the master cylinder operate the front brakes, more pressure on the pedal operated the rears brakes too. But I have been known to give wrong advice before

Hi Mark and welcome. Has your car got an electric park brake. I'm quite new to the marque my self but I think you may have to put the rear brakes into service mode before doing any work on them if I'm not mistaken. Even if your car doesn't have this it could still be an issue with the hand brake mechanism.

Hi the park brake is manual but works on the inside of the discs on brake shoes, I dont have a problem with the park brake is just seems to be on the pads
but thanks for the reply

I wonder if it's anything to do with when you wound or compressed the pistons back forcing the fluid back to the master cylinder. There might be a check valve somewhere in the system. You could try bleeding the system and see what happens.
