Sir, your videos are a masterclass in how to show people how to do this work. Very nicely done.

Word of the wise from a dealer tech..the caliper carrier does not have to be removed to remove the brake rotor.

Does that mean only the two bolts holding the brake assembly need to be removed and The rest of the brake assembly will come off?

Can confirm. Wiggles right on out of there. Also, the calipers are spin-in retracting, like most rear calipers. Easy job.

Just did the brakes and rotors today. I can confirm, you do not need to remove the caliper carrier. The rotor can be wiggled out gently. No need to remove the 18mm bolts!

Awesome instructions and detail. thank you

thanks for the professional video

Thanks for helping me today I real appreciate you❤❤❤

I hear "Kyle Baskin" every time... DERN YOU TIGER KING!!!

Professional explanation. Thank you!!!

Thank you for doing these - very helpful - getting a caliper spreader was prolly the only extra tool - and even that isn't truly necessary.

Excellent work, Brendan!

Tip - if fitment menu doesn’t come up press the answer button first then the okay button. I kept getting the reset trip odometer screen initially.

I can confirm it's the same process and tools for 2014 gl 63amg. The only extra step I add a little high temp brake grease to the shim / pad contact area, helps with prevention of squeal.

Super!

good info

Nice leason leaned.

I have a 2015 ML400. Ran into snag on rear brakes. Didn’t have a caliper press and had to order it. Watched your video and saw the brake fitting position instruction. But did this with driver side rear brake disassembled. Wheel cylinder brake caliper extended all the way out. I’m worried I caused damage. I guess I’ll know when I get the retractor. Thanks for your video. Wish I had viewed it before starting the job. Live and learn.

Happened to me as well. Luckily I had someone reset it and retract it back without damage. I hope it worked for you

You shot the piston out of your caliper lol? Well.. if you don’t want to bleed your brakes take a c clamp and push the piston back into the caliper, it will be extremely hard to set but once it’s in and set a little bit you’re good to go, or the easier way is take the caliper off and do the same thing.

Can you do timing belt DIY for 1992-1995 Audi UrS4/S6 plz.

Thank you for this, it was a huge help in me changing the brakes on my ML 550.😊

Thanks.

Does this apply to a 2015 GL63 AMG?

Excellent video EXCEPT you skipped the piston retraction (most important step I was interested in seeing). At the beginning you show a caliper press tool as being required, but from the video (5:39) it appears that these are the screw type. Screw type or compression? Help? Can you edit that step into your presentation?

If you have to regrease the pins which brake paste should be used. It’s not clear on the website which item to order.

I've got a x166 550. I want to upgrade to the GL 63 brakes, is it possible to upgrade? Obviously with the rotor, caliper and pads upgrade. Anything else to consider?

Do you leave the parking brake engage for front rotor and brake change or does the front also need to be in service mode?

Would these fit a 2018 gle 43 base model

Is it the same for W166 ML350?

how do you realign rear rotors to hub to get the t-screw and bolts back in, do I have to remove the brakes and caliper?

Any cross drilled option for 345 mm?

Great video!! Please show us how to change Nox censors and how to reset them. W166 or diesel engine have a common error of nox censor but cant find a good video on youtube.thanks!

Will any break grease work on MB pins?

Why the Rear brakes squalling with all brand new Mercedes OEM parts on my W166 GLE400? I put brake paste on the back of the pads. There still squalling when it's cold outsight at a light pressure on the brakes coming to a stop. Once the rotors warm up the sounds goes away.

I really should have searched this video BEFORE trying to do the job. I did find out about the service mode after realizing the piston wouldn't compress. However, by that time, I had already taken the caliper off. It didn't retract all the way and I couldn't easily compress the piston with a clamp (had brake reservoir open). There wasn't enough clearance to put the caliper back on. I thought i could "reset" by exiting fitting mode and re-entering fitting mode. Upon exiting fitting mode (with caliper loose), the piston extended itself until it flew off 😭 There is no stop for it. Be careful! DIY was a piece of cake on the front, now a shop is fixing my mistake in the rear 💀

Can you re-use the existing brake pad thickness sensor or do you need to buy a new one?

@fcpeuro

We always recommend replacements as often times they will fall apart upon removal due to all the heat and cooling they go through.

Hi i have changed the front pads and sensor wire last week now just changed rear pads and sensor on the ml w166 but it is still saying check brake wear i have replaced the rear sensor wire twice but still saying check brake wear can you advise ? Thanks

Hi Deedee, often times you may need to use a scanner to reset the error code. Worth giving that a try, along with ensuring the sensors were plugged in correctly.

Might be a stupid question but once the brake is activated can the ignition be turned off?

@fcpeuro

Typically, the scan tool you are using will ask you to turn off your ignition until you are ready to reset the parking brake on your vehicle!

You didn't add anti seize to the brake tabs. Also, does the Benz not have floats that need attention?

Is the caliber push in or twist in?

@fcpeuro

Ай бұрын

The piston on the caliper is to be pushed in!

ha ha I din't know MB had onboard control of the eEBrake

you might want to re-check the bracket bolt spec. as stated in the video to be 55NM, I believe is incorrect.

Whst is the correct one?

the brake pads removal tools ARE 13mm wrench/socket and 17 mm wrench NOT 15!!! Please DO NOT CONFUSE people!!! Thanks.

Disliking this video because he fails to show how to retract the caliper, which was the main reason why I clicked to begin with.
