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.

@emiliosanchez5621 2 жыл бұрын

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?

@toadroller 2 жыл бұрын

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!

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

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.

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

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?

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 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.

@noecorrea8413 2 жыл бұрын

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

@the_first_resort940 Жыл бұрын

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.

@bsclifton Ай бұрын

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 💀

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

@fcpeuro Жыл бұрын

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.

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

@fcpeuro 7 ай бұрын

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

@expresidentobama Жыл бұрын

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

@Rj-xc9fc Ай бұрын

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

@fcpeuro Ай бұрын

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!

Is the caliber push in or twist in?

The piston on the caliper is to be pushed in!
