When a caliper on the Mercedes Benz Sl500 seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Sl500 keeps the brake pad in continuous contact with the rotor, wearing the pad unevenly and scoring the rotor surface. By the time the caliper on the Mercedes Benz Sl500 is identified as the fault, the pads are typically worn asymmetrically and the rotor is damaged. A caliper kit from GeoBrakes addresses every compromised component on your Mercedes Benz Sl500 together.
The kit for your Mercedes Benz Sl500 includes the disc brake caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Sl500, either new OEM-spec or quality remanufactured to the Mercedes Benz Sl500 piston dimension and hydraulic pressure rating, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the Sl500 caliper and rotor specification, caliper hardware with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Mercedes Benz Sl500, brake lubricant for correct pin and shim installation on your Sl500, and copper washers or banjo bolt seals for the brake hose connection where required by the Mercedes Benz Sl500 application.
A caliper kit is the right call for the Mercedes Benz Sl500 in three specific situations. After a seized or dragging caliper, because the pads and often the rotor on your Sl500 are already compromised. During a high-mileage Sl500 overhaul at 150,000 kilometres or more, because caliper piston seals and guide pin boots on the Mercedes Benz Sl500 are typically at or beyond their service life. After a brake fluid leak at the caliper, because fluid contamination of the Sl500 brake pad renders the friction material permanently ineffective on your Mercedes Benz Sl500.
New OEM-specification calipers for the Mercedes Benz Sl500 are manufactured from fresh materials with no prior service history, the strongest choice for Sl500 vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured calipers use original Mercedes Benz Sl500 housings rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new units at a lower price point for most Sl500 replacement applications.
Calipers for the Mercedes Benz Sl500 are the most position-specific brake component in the catalogue. Left and right calipers for the Sl500 are not interchangeable. Our vehicle selector confirms the correct caliper kit for the Mercedes Benz Sl500 exact year, axle position, and left or right side before purchase.
Should I replace both calipers on my Mercedes Benz Sl500 at the same time?
It is strongly recommended. If one caliper on the Mercedes Benz Sl500 has seized or leaked, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same conditions and age on your Sl500. Replacing both restores balanced, even braking and eliminates the risk of the second Sl500 caliper failing shortly after the first is replaced.
Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Mercedes Benz Sl500 after installing a caliper kit?
Yes. Opening the hydraulic circuit on the Mercedes Benz Sl500 to install the new caliper allows air to enter. After installation, the brake circuit on the Sl500 must be bled at the caliper bleeder screw to purge all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Mercedes Benz Sl500.
What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Mercedes Benz Sl500 kit?
A new caliper for the Mercedes Benz Sl500 has no prior service history and is the stronger choice for high-corrosion environments. A remanufactured caliper uses an original Sl500 housing rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new at a lower price point for most Mercedes Benz Sl500 applications.
