[@3doa419]

Getting ready to do my rear brakes on my 2015 GL450...very confident now after watching this and the other video!! Thank you!!! Saved me $1400!!

[@WalterBriones-p6q]

I was stuck and can’t retract the brake piston, this Worked perfect in my 2014 GL450, I really appreciate, I saved a lot of money done it my self

[@misscyndi4410]

Thank you very much, I always like to check technical videos as yours before I start any mechanical projects for proper steps. Thank you again, sincerely, Miss Cyndi

[@robquinn1837]

Dude, thank you! Great videos on the brake service mode and rear pad replacement. I saved a bunch of cash doing it myself. 2016 gl450.

[@emiliosantiago8224]

You have no idea how helpful this is thank you so much 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@HelpingHandAutoRepair]

You're very welcome!

[@rakeshbharadwaj6334]

Very easy simple way you explained.....

[@scotthopkins7704]

I have a 2015 ML 350. I could not get the menu to place the car into service mode to replace the pads with the ignition in the first position. After several unsuccessful attempts to get the menu to come up, I pressed the ignition button again, second position, and tried that. This worked for me and the menu came up just like in this video. I put the car into rear brake service mode, replaced the brake pads and rotors, then returned the rear brakes to normal operating position. This was the first time I've changed these pads and was unaware that only one side of the rear brakes uses the wear sensor and I had order two of them. I'll eventually use the other wear sensor on the front pads when they need to be changed.

[@mastcellG]

The front and rear brake sensors are different.

[@trealwilliams1563]

Good job👍🏿 but you've left out release of the parking brake first!

[@AngelBenz.27]

I have a 2018 gls63 and it worked for me, thanks for the video

[@shanevanwey5213]

worked perfect on my 2013 GL450... once I made sure my door was closed ALL the day, haha. That is key and he says it in the video to close doors and windows up, but I made the mistake of lightly closing my door and not realizing it was not latched shut the first time I tried it..

[@HelpingHandAutoRepair]

lol, crazy how the car needs to have the door closed when in actuality it doesn’t even matter.

[@bravomahecha5115]

Excellent video, thank you very much, I have two doubts, 1st. I have to do this process to replace the Rear Speed Sensor?, 2nd. My steering wheel comes out but doesn't up or down, it makes a thick noise when push the lever but don't do anything else, what can I do?, my car is also a GL450 2013, thanks in advance...

[@owoeyedamilare343]

Thanks so much..I think i’ve to try this on my own

[@Jon-dh9zi]

Thank you. That was so helpful

[@soliman86qatar]

Thank you so much This is a great job🌹

[@nathantaylor3636]

I have a 2015 ML400. The dashboard screen keeps telling me “conditions not correct”. What am i doing wrong??

[@anthonymelendez379]

Its because the emergancy vrake is on

[@seunfire]

@@anthonymelendez379 you just saved a brother here let me add. Put on the ignition I.e accessories mode but don't start the engine and pull the emergency brake lever that gets rid of that message

[@mistrfinga]

When I pull parking brake i get red error says see operators manual

[@mariuzkreuz9373]

Thanks man god explanation!

[@bobbyb952]

what if you have already removed pads and rotors? can i still go into svc mode and retract calipers without causing an issue? thanks

[@HelpingHandAutoRepair]

Yes

[@TheBattleBranchBoys]

I think the talk button doesn't work on mine. I have the calipers off and can't get the menu to come up. I also can't make a phone call with that button.

[@inch169]

Do you have to wind piston in? I'm only getting noise and 1mm clearance when brake released , and doing as above, can hear motors but didn't try wind back manually, as amg badge prevents my tool

[@mattd8222]

I was trying to do this over and over. I had to have the window closed. Thanks

[@jenniferandbencoots9648]

Going ahead Never herd it that way. I always herd go ahead

[@rickey3075]

Is this Procedure just for the rear brakes can you change the front without this procedure ?

[@HelpingHandAutoRepair]

Correct.

[@kkkkkunn]

After I press pad replacement. It shows conditions not correct. What should I do after this?

[@alltech3987]

Thanks a lot 🙏

[@WoodakaDiddy]

Will this work for a 2017 gle 43 i have to replace my wife rear brakes

[@mohdakbar7436]

Thank you Sai

[@shaunlion311]

If you have your MPH readout up or any other option other than your screen to ONLY show the Mileage when you go to position 1 after pressing your start button or turning your key to Postion One. IT WILL NOT WORK. Mileage must be showing when you attempt. At least that’s on my 2013 GL550. Thanks so much I got In…😊

[@JoshNormandy]

Thank you!!!!

[@TheBattleBranchBoys]

those working on their own vehicles, turn off your Bluetooth on your phone and the menu will come up. it can't be connected to a phone apparently.

[@ja.3668]

Hey so I had to put my car in fit mode and I had to go to the store so I had took the key out and shut it off came back finish the brakes and now I can’t get it to come out of fit mode I can’t even get it to go into the menu to give me the option to pull it out can you help me

[@ctcinternational9690]

Please x166 gl (1. How to replace the front room mirror led) (2. How to replace the front domelight led) (3. How to replace the switchlight led on the door) I can't disassemble it. I don't have enough information. May I ask you to shoot a video? ??

[@HelpingHandAutoRepair]

차기헌 I don’t own this car. It’s a customer’s car. I don’t have a video showing how to access the dome lights. That being said, Most of the dome lights are press fit into place. You should be able to use a credit card or a small flat head screwdriver to release the tabs on the front or sides of the light assembly.

[@ctcinternational9690]

Helping Hand Auto Repair You can take a video. Thank you.

[@HelpingHandAutoRepair]

차기헌 I cannot take a video right now. If it so happen to work on this car again I will but I wouldn’t wait for me is what I am saying.

[@joemartinez4997]

Thank you for the video bu mine does not do the same 2015 CLA

[@HelpingHandAutoRepair]

This video is not for your car.

[@ericf1202]

Thank you!

[@acuracer23]

On mine says conditions not correct and dnt let me go to the next screen to unlock it? What should i do?

[@kkkkkunn]

Same bro

[@abdielconsuegrachacon]

This can be for the from too ?

[@HelpingHandAutoRepair]

Front doesn’t need this. Front can be compressed back in normally.

[@abozaid1961]

How about the front brakes? Do you have to do the same ?

[@HelpingHandAutoRepair]

No sir.

[@busarilukumon8328]

Front one don't need that just to use your caliper pressing to push the piston inside

[@markshved6290]

Thank

[@rcstiggy9486]

Make sure you have the mileage screen up for this to work, can’t be on music or anything else

[@dybon787]

[@jesustapia6678]

[@HelpingHandAutoRepair]
