People who don't torque wrench wheels have no place working on anything. Amen - Buddy used my impact and the wheel fell off at 30 around a curb causing thousands in damage. Told him to torque them...didn't listen...instant regret.

Thank you for posting this. 5+ years later and it's still providing value. Everything was very well explained and super easy to follow.

This era of E-class is known for rotor warpage (especially the v8s). Gotta do my E550s and this video will be massively helpful this weekend. Thanks so much!

Please can you write down all torque value that he used And also I have E350 coupe 2012 and need to replace breaks myself, so what type of grease do you use?

This is the best. Clear, fast, and professional. Good camera work too. Anyone know the rotor warp tolerance when using a dial gauge in mm?

Great vid !! I like how you always break down the repair step by step and explain why you are doing it.

This is awesome. One optional thing I do is add some grease to the hub before installing the rotor - it makes it easier to replace the rotors next time.

Great job!

Great video, keep making more vids. Like for your video

Excellent video. The only thing I would add would be some anti seize between the Hub and rotor because in my case I'll be the next one pulling it off eventually.

where i am compressing the caliper is one of the first things we have to do....often there done

Really great video thx

great video,,, i think i can do it Very well done

Excellent video. I did this on the ground using a jack. I did not have a C clamp to compress caliper. My work around was to press the (free floating) caliper w/ the pads in against the old rotor. Takes some more ooga's, but worked out fine.

I did this on an E400. Not sure if you want to update your meta tags with it, but more people need to see this video first when they search "DIY E400 ..." I ended up searching E350 for this, but only when I realized that they used the same brakes.

Great video. The only one that I found helpful. Most did not match my brake system. Can I jack my 2017 e550 Cabriolet from the rear differential in order to place jack stand in the proper location? I do not have a lift.

Hey I was wondering is that mercedes benz logo plate removeable on the w212? I have a w207 and you can just pop that off it makes it easier to see stuff and install that little spring clip.

Great video

Nice job checking lateral runout on the hub and rotor.

Question: when you remove the little bit of brake fluid from the reservoir, do you leave the cap off the reservoir while working on the brakes or do you put the cap back on while working on brakes ?

Thank you and congratulations for the video. After that change, should the Control Unit or Brake Module be restarted with a Scanner or other electronic tool? Isn’t there an error in the brake light on the dashboard/splash?

Best video I've seen for do it yourself work! Expansive but simple, nice job! Thanks saved me a ton of money taking to the dealership!

Is it okay if the two 13’s pins are tightened to the brim of the rubber seal but they are pushed out outward instead of inward or equal/middle length?? I’m doing this on my 2010 e350

Great video. Since I’m not mechanically inclined enough to handle this type of task. What kind of price should I expect for a brake job like this? I have a 2012 e350. BTW, if there is anyone in the greater Detroit area can help me out, hit me up.

Would you happen to know what the torque specs are for a 2011 C250?

Very useful

Do I have to replace the rotor and pads at same time even though the rotor still looks good. Thanks

if there is a warning light "check brake pad wear", do I have to buy a scan tool to reset it? are there any tricks involved?

don't see anywhere about to disable the suspension before you lift up the vehicle, is that is going to be a problem for my 2014 Mercedes E350?

Is this a sport package? I can't seem to find out which pads rotors I need. I have sport, Thanks

Does the same process apply to the back of the brakes for a 2014?

Is there a reason you did not use any lubricant on the part of the brake pad that contacts the brake bracket (the pins)? I really did like the very detailed video.

I had to re read the portion of the brake wear sensor. Sounded like you said wear pad sensor is only on one pad...as in the one sensor for the entire vehicle. One pad sensor for each wheel but outboard only.. Good video, The spline socket head on the outer caliper bracket scared me at first but looks like they are decorative and the retaining bolts are on the inboard side. Another common trick is to hold the caliper to the vehicle with bungee cord, heavy duty Ziptie etc....prevent the caliper from accidentally falling, good risk of puncturing the flexible line, which WILL require bleeding and most likely flushing since you will need new fluid. The C clamp he used to compress the caliper piston, use the pad that is being replaced no since in risking residual grease or fluid on the face of the NEW pad. Sounds like I have a good day off project.

Shouldn't we deactivate the brakes with a scan tool prior to this?

Someone stated they needed to hookup a computer after doing a brake job cause the car wouldn't drive after doing a brake job. Obvious it will need the new sensor installed, but will there need to be a computer installed to reset the brakes, like a person resets the service for oil change

i want to do brake pad replacement, is that require to replace sensor as well?

Just re watched the video in preparation for my planned pad and rotor 100K replacement this weekend. Does not appear any major special tools are required. Also thanks for the Torque values. Can you get a 1/2 inch drive Torque wrench in the fender well? Of course You or a shop can with a lift. I had trouble with my Explorer fender well inside with a 1/2 inch drive that’s why I asked. I ordered some “Wheel Trees” from Amazon. Basically a stud that is threaded on one side but flat and smooth for the rest. For you home mechanics this can help a lot. Since Most European vehicles the lug nut and stun are built as one piece the wheel tree allows you to hang the tire and align the first couple of lug studs on the threaded insert making fairly quick work of hanging the heavy tire without too much work. Thread the wheel tree in hang the tire and as you get the other lug studs aligned and secured you can remove the wheel tree. Sounds like this could pay for itself fairly quickly. I will let you everyone know Sunday.

You never looked in the trunk? Mercedes-Benz supplies an aluminum hanging tire rod in their vehicles.

Ever run into issues from not replacing the bolts? Those are "self locking (not tty) bolts & Mercedes says to replace them. The caliper bracket bolts are available, but the slide pin bolts (for a 2010 E350 coupe) are non existent. Some pads supply them, Akebono doesn't. Guess I'm reluctantly reusing mine.

What is the purpose of the set screw?

I followed your instructions and now my brake pedal goes almost all the way to the floor. When the car is running it goes to the floor with the first press, then the second press gets tighter. I know it couldn't be air right? I didnt open anything that could cause that besides the master cylinder. I even bled the front brakes and it's still doing the same thing.
