I've just discovered that the left rear caliper of my 240DL wagaon has a "stuck" piston. I plan to replace the caliper with a rebuilt from the local foreign car parts store. This is my first brake work on a brick other than replacing pads and I want to know are there are any "tricks" for removing and replacing this caliper? I'm thinking PB Blaster and an impact wrench for the mounting bolts, but I dread the thought of possibly breaking the fittings on the flexible brake hose.
