Removing rear caliper's

[Stulc]

On a 99' C280.....just how do you get ino the bolt's when the arb link's right behind it??...I know it's 16ml bolt's....anyone know....

Use a combination ring spanner, the arb link should not be a problem when the load is off the suspension.

Yea thats the only I thought of unless the arb's removed at least from the wishbone, but can you get enough leverage on a spanner.

Torque for the mounting bolts is 37lb ft so shouldn't be too hard , make sure spanner is a tight fit and hit with a hammer .

Yea Iv'e did that before, just didnt know if I'd have enough leverage under there. either that or (if I can) put another spanner onto it (again if there's room) for leverage, surely somehow I'll get the bugger off to get the new pads/discs on.
