How to replace front brake pads on Mercedes s430
The front brake caliper should retract with minimal effort with the aid of a c-clamp and an old brake pad. If it takes alot of pressure to make it retract I would replace the caliper. The rear brake caliper is a different story because it houses the e-brake also. The brake caliper piston must be rotated clockwise as you apply pressure to retract it. This requires a special tool that you can purchase from your local auto parts store. This tool is not expensive, it should be less than $20.
There's only two things it could be: the brake cylinder or the hose. It's probably the brake cylinder, and those are easy to replace: jack up the car and put it on a jackstand, remove the wheel, then the brake drum followed by the shoes. Remove and replace the brake cylinder, reassemble the brake, bleed the system (you should only have to bleed the passenger front and driver rear since they're completely separate from the driver front and passenger rear due to the "dual diagonal" brake system cars have) and put the wheel back on.
one common reason is that some brake fluid may have leaded out of one of the front wheel brake cylinders. Usually the car will jerk to the opposite direction of the leaking brake cylinder. Check the inside of the the wheel/tire and see if there are oil stains from the leak. if so you can replace the brake cylinder or sometimes change the dirt seals on the brake cylinder.
