Thread: What size bolt on brake caliper? [W169]

Whilst I change the brake discs on a '55 w169 I would like to replace the caliper bolts.
What size are they, apparently MB don't sell 'em seperately and I don't imagine replacement discs have them in the box?
Can you also recommend a "proper" workshop manual for the car?
I have a downloaded one for the w168 diesel but it is in Italian.

Hi

The bolts are available seperatly - get your dealer to look on EPCnet section 42 (brakes) subsection 30 (front) item number 40 (bolt) and 50 (collar) and in 42.42 (rear) items 40 (bolt) and 50 (collar) and possibly 80 if you are replacing that bolt too. I'd use genuine parts on any safety related component always .....

I'd rather the dealer look up the correct part numbers using your VIN number so that the correct parts are supplied - I dont know if different models have different calipers and thus different bolts.

The full workshop service info is called WIS - see Mercedes WIS & DAS install guides for more info on that

Thank you so much Richard.
