2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK350: Front rotors and brake pads.
This job is easier with air tools honestly. Mainly because of the T30 that holds on the rotors as it is very easy to strip doing by hand. It can, however, be done as I have in the past.
Duration: 2 hours for me…

Another great video for reference. A few tidbits for someone looking to do this (and the rears). Super simple to do vs paying MB a ton of cash. Our GLKs don't have the electronic parking brake, so it's all straight forward. - The 15mm caliper bolts are removed like any other bolts. That 22mm (7/8") flat is there in case the bolt spins. But, have decent sockets and make sure you're squared up to the bolt or you might indeed strip the head. - You're correct about the E18 caliper bracket bolts. Not sure what that factory torque is but good god...... A nice long breaker bar is a must, or slide a piece of pipe over the ratchet handle. - For the guy who asked about jack points...correct. There's a rectangle pad under the front center of the vehicle. Jack it up there and place your jack stands in the proper location under the rails For the rear, jack it up at the differential and place your stands in the proper spots. - I bought a $15 brake piston tool on Amazon that ratchets and compresses the piston....best investment ever. - Since I'm OCD, I spent the $20 and bought new guide pins and slider bolts for the front and rear. The rear pin can strip easy, so it's simple insurance for me. Slap a little grease on the guide pin and you're good to go. I did my friend's GLK pads/rotors/fluid flush last weekend...doing mine today. Thanks again for your videos....well shot and comprehensive.

Great video - really helpful. I found that if I removed the caliper from the bracket first, it gave me better access to the E18 bolts that hold the bracket in place. I do wish you would have shown how you got those E18s out, as it took me FOREVER. I don’t have a pneumatic wrench, so had to use a breaker bar to back them out nearly the entire way.

Thanks for the clear instructions. When you put in the E18 bolts I did not see any loctite and the AllData manual says for 180Nm ~ 133 ft-lbs - which I thought was fairly excessive but it seems to be what they want.

@512TXSDIY 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the comment. Absolutely do what you’re comfortable with. That does seem like a lot of torque together with loctite but I’m sure they manual is correct. Don’t forget to hit subscribe if you haven’t already.

Great video! Are you able to show exactly where the front/rear center jacking points are for the GLK(X204) when using two set of jack stands? Winter is coming and people may need to swap their wheels

@512TXSDIY 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment. Front: there is a flat piece if you look under the car coming in from the front that will allow you to put a jack in and crank up and get stands on each side jack point. Rear: I do the rears one side at a time normally. Don’t forget to hit subscribe.

Beware of the ESL - electronic steering Lock - if that goes out your car is useless and Mercedes will charge you upwards of $1600 for the repair and an additional $456 to reprogram your key. This can only be repaired at a MB dealership so I hope you never have this problem in Death Valley in the summer.

If the rotors look ok, is it acceptable to just replace the pads and call it done?

@512TXSDIY 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Chuck and thank you for the comment. If the rotors look okay, I would replace only the pads and do the rotors on the next pad change. I will say, if you're paying someone to do the work, it might be better to have it all done at once so they don't have to do it twice.

Powinieneś dobrze wyczyścić szczotką drucianą piastę przed założeniem tarczy, jarzmo hamulcowe tak samo. Nie rozumiem dlaczego użyłeś tylko zmywacza do hamulców i szczotki do zębów, wszystko jest nadal brudne. Warto wszystko porządnie wyczyścić do gołej stali bo tutaj każde 0.01 mm jest ważne. Warto też skontrolować tłoczki hamulcowe, wszystki gumki czy nie są uszkodzone. Poza tym sama procedura wymiany ok
