Product Details

The Cardone Unloaded Caliper line focuses on remanufactured brake hydraulics built to OE specifications. Part number 19-778 is pressure-tested and assembled with new wear components to help restore proper hydraulic function on rear right Mercedes-Benz brake systems. This caliper is listed for 1975-1991 Mercedes-Benz applications, including 300D, 300SD, 300SDL, 300SE, 300SEL, 350SD, 350SDL, 380SE, 380SEL, 380SEC, 380SL, 380SLC, 420SEL, 500SEC, 500SEL, 560SEC, and 560SEL models.

This part cross-references Mercedes-Benz OE numbers 0004235998 and 0986471962 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake drag or uneven rear braking on the right side
• Leaking caliper seals or fluid seepage
• Corrosion-related caliper sticking
• Soft or inconsistent brake pedal feel caused by hydraulic issues
• Bleeding problems from worn bleeder hardware

Installation Notes

Use the correct brake fluid specified on the master cylinder reservoir lid and replace fluid from a sealed container. Silicone grease is used on floating caliper mounting pins. Verify the inlet and bleeder port sizes before installation, and confirm rear right fitment for your Mercedes-Benz 300SE, 300SEL, 300SD, 420SEL, or 560SEL application. Part number 19-778 is supplied as an unloaded caliper, so pad selection remains separate from the caliper assembly.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone brake caliper is remanufactured to rigorous quality standards, assembled with new components, and 100% pressure-tested before release. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part.
