Nice job on the calipers, John.Wonder about the chrome missing on the leading edge, with new pads its very close to the seals. Looking at same issue here. Think new pistons needed.
Do you mind posting the part/model # for the grease gun. I got one, but it’s definitely got no metric fittings/threads on it. With 8 callipers to go it will be well worth its price.
I will see when I get back to the parts store. What I did was unscrew the adapter (the one that goes on the zerk fitting). Are you in the US? I bought the gun from my local Riebes Napa auto parts store. But I will follow up with you. Are you in the Mercedes Maintenance and Mercedes rescue groups on Facebook? If not, come join us. Cheers John.
Another great result, looking forward to the rotisserie happening.
Going to try the grease gun method tomorrow. My 4.5 calipers look a little crustier than those 🤞🏼
Hope it works for you. There's a lot of clean up afterwards but normally it will shift sticking pistons. Cheers John.

I was thinking the same. While I'm in there may as well replace the pistons.
