How much were the brake pads and rotors. Are mercedes parts significantly better or the ones you installed equal to mb parts just cheaper. How long did it take you to change the parts ? Thank you. I have 160k on mine bought it used with 150k two years ago now hardly drive it. Just recently changed the starter. Some people like yourself. Said they could take the starter out without taking apart the front end. Said they could do it in under an hr. Others said 3 hr job. Saw starter part on ebay and other auto parts retailers for 108 -235 dollars . They all can't be the same. I put in oem part bosch. Significantly more than ebay . Autobarn.. napa oreilly part.

Dunno why this was in my recommendations, but wanted to say good job, however you put chinaman garbage parts on this fine machine. Centric parts is pure doodoo from Chiner. Next time seek out Zimmerman rotors, and Textar brake pads. It's what these vehicles bring from the factory. The pads also have a unique position in the caliper. They have an arrow that should face in the direction of forward rotation. Otherwise, good job.

Nice video. I changed the front brakes and rotors yesterday (first time doing this), and am now studying up to do the rears. What did you torque the caliper bolts to? Looking at my car yesterday, I was concerned about getting access to these w/ a socket, but you seemed to do fine with it.

Should hardware be on the front and rear or just the rear? I purchased brake pads for my 2017 Mercedes GLS 450 from the dealership, but the dealership box had only rear hardware, not front hardware. The shop that did my brakes showed me that my front brakes move back and forth because no hardware came with brakes. They also showed me that the rear brakes do not move because it has hardware. Should there be hardware in the front as well?

You will typically re-use the old hardware.

@discodaze99723 жыл бұрын
Make sure the E-Brake is off. The Rotor will not slide off with the E-Brake on. If the E-Brake is still too tight; then use a flat blade screw driver to release the tension on the brake by turning the gear wheel tensioner.

How did you know what size tap to use ?
@discodaze99724 жыл бұрын
Just checked the thread against the bolt. MB uses all standard size metric threads / pitch. Hold the tap against the thread of the bolt and the threads will fit perfectly together. Try one size larger and one size smaller and you will easily see that they don't fit.
@remodelassets65234 жыл бұрын
Go to a machine shop supply store with the bolts they have charts and gauges also you can purchase taps from them

Thank you so much for the detailed instructions and video! I've done a couple of brake and rotor replacements over the years but never on a Mercedes. The Euro shop wanted over $600 to replace them and I bought Zimmerman rotors and high end ceramic pads. There were cheap metallic ones on the car and the 21mm bolts were super tight on mine as well. I had to use a pipe on the ratchet and pull pretty hard to loosen them. But then everything was a piece of cake. You saved me $300 in labor and I'm confident they are installed, torqued and lubricated better than if a shop or dealer would have installed them. This video was so helpful!

There are not that many CLS550's available. Don't over pay. MB did not import all that many of these cars to the USA. There is a DOT recall on: 1. gas tank 2. Air Bag 3. Sun Roof Gasket MB will fix these recalls for free. The front door window regulators are also problematic. Replace them as soon as they start to make noise. They fail faster in hot climates. $1200 at the MB dealership. Other than that, these are solid cars.
