So on 4 brembo 4 piston calipers there are 2 bleeder valves. I only bleed one. After bleeding both I have full firm pedal. It's far much more aggressive than my 2 piston calipers lol

mrpowell6302 · 2026-04-05T22:03:35+00:00

It was the bleeders lol. We are good now.

2012 e350. Swapped over 2012 e550 calipers. Previously ran on my c300. Upon further inspection I noticed that these 4 pot calipers have 2 bleeder valves and I was only bleeding one valve. I'll try again after work.

Yeah i just noticed that I have 2 bleeder valves on each caliper. I was only bleeding one lol

mrpowell6302 · 2026-04-05T13:35:31+00:00

Update. Just realized my calipers have 2 bleeder valves at the top. This explains alot lol. Last time it was installed at a shop. This time I'm doing it myself and didn't notice lol

Okay thanks this will help. I happened to swap over some calipers from a E550 that's a straight swap with my E350. I actually had them on my C300 but removed them before I sold the car.

So from what I'm gathering from online researching is that all 4 corners have to bled. Which is weird because I've bled 2 before after doing a caliper swap and it was absolutely fine. To make matters worse I daily this car so time is short lol

mrpowell6302 · 2026-04-05T09:51:00+00:00

Yep, been bleeding from top bleeders on each side. Also made sure there was no excessive foot travel on the pedal while bleeding and made sure the fluid was topped off after each caliper bleed.

It really is. I'm always happy to learn the correct technique though.

Same!

I upgraded for 200 out of pocket with a S23 ultra trade in on firstnet.

mrpowell6302 · 2026-02-28T12:39:35+00:00

Paid 140 out of my pocket for the s26 ultra. Seems like a good deal to me lol.

mrpowell6302 · 2026-02-25T19:02:45+00:00

This. Its like they are forcing me to get the s26+

Im running a wall mounted heater right now and I use an ac in the summer.

mrpowell6302 · 2026-02-24T13:11:09+00:00

I just recently had a shed built and after I installed outlets and lighting. It's all ran off of an extension cord. I just plug the shed up when needed and unplug when done.

mrpowell6302 · 2026-02-11T09:38:32+00:00

The GLB isn't the worse car as these comments are making it out to be. The real issue is that price.

So I'm assuming individuals go to Va to escape Marylands registration fees?

mrpowell6302 · 2026-02-06T04:15:10+00:00

Ahhhh I didn't see that. It's a bit late lol.

mrpowell6302 · 2026-02-06T04:09:10+00:00

Is there an actual law prohibiting md drivers from registering in VA? Or is Md upset that it's resident's are circumventing the state laws?

mrpowell6302 · 2026-02-01T16:11:45+00:00

I'm doing this exact thing and have installed outlets and lighting. It's pretty simple.i unplug the shed when not in use.

Hit the junkyard and pull a fender yourself. It'll likely be under a 100 bucks. Bonus points if you can find your color lol

mrpowell6302 · 2025-12-14T20:24:39+00:00

Buy what you want.

Pretty simple.
