How to Replace Brake Pads on a Mercedes Benz E350 W212

[@r.weaver3769]

The bucket is ingenious. I normally use old stainless steel brake lines fashioned into S hooks for hanging calipers to prevent stressing brake hoses. Stainless is hard to bend but will hold a very heavy Ford 1 ton caliper with no issues. So glad I watched this, always seeing neat tricks others use. Thank you.

This video might so fit to my car. thank you so much. its time to replace brake pads

[@AlbanianFix]

...and don’t forget the sensors 😄

[@christopheronyx4671]

dunno if you guys cares but if you're stoned like me atm you can watch pretty much all of the new series on Instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of days =)

[@raphaelsimon1847]

@Christopher Onyx yea, been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself =)

[@francisdavis1039]

Wow!!! Thank you so much, i did not know there was sensors only on the passenger side.

[@AlbanianFix]

You’re welcome! Good thing you didn’t pull the brakes right out and snapped the sensor cable 😄

1:13 i've read that you have to (first clean if needed) put some fat (silicon grease) around that stick when you put it in back. whats your opinion? and thank you very much for your great videos.

[@AlbanianFix]

Yeah, there’s no wrong or right in how much grease there is as long as there is some. I’ve found myself cleaning excess grease off the caliper’s track because any extra grease will be pushed out. Also, not to mention the dirt and gunk that the extra grease starts to attract.

[@taufan305]

Great video. That bolt torque spec only 18 FP I believe ..

[@AlbanianFix]

Thank you! Yes, I believe so but I just tightened it as much as I could since it’s just bolting metal to metal :)

[@NextLevelAutoDiagnostics]

Yes...85 seems too much for that small bolt

[@scotth5132]

Yes. 85 ft-lb is for the caliper bracket bolts.

[@NextLevelAutoDiagnostics]

@@scotth5132 Thanks for confirming

[@jawadhaider9514]

great vid. Going to do it myself now. Is grease neccessary?

[@AlbanianFix]

In my opinion it’s very necessary so the pads can slide back and forth with ease. Most of the brake kits already come with some grease included.

[@alexalexalexalex7906]

Great video👍👍👍👍👍👍👍perfect explanation….

[@Superman-nn4nw]

Did you bleed the brakes?

[@AlbanianFix]

No, I didn’t do it here but I will show that in a different video.

[@Superman-nn4nw]

@@AlbanianFix Thank you and thank you for the quick reply.

[@houstonswisha143]

1:32 god damn lmao you fought that sumumabitch

[@sPeeDeeKris]

Lol

[@frnkjones40]

85 ft/lb may be for the caliper bracket but that seems a bit much

[@AlbanianFix]

Yeah, it seemed a lot to me as well but that’s what I found on google at that time.

[@vadimZ1000]

2:22 you may easily damage the piston while pushing it crooked

[@AlbanianFix]

Yes you’re right, it’s not good to push them in crooked. This video part was sped up and doesn’t show how I was really taking my time with slowly pushing the piston in to prevent as less damage as possible since I didn’t have the right tool.

[@rakmanbaba]

What make pads did u use?

[@AlbanianFix]

These are from FCP Euro

[@rakmanbaba]

@@AlbanianFix Brand?

[@AlbanianFix]

It's Akebono

[@rakmanbaba]

Albanian Fix do u have the exact akebono part nos.?

[@MsBot100]

man the guidepins should not be at 85Ft /lbs. according to mercedes it should be 40.. snapped my bolt..

[@AlbanianFix]

Hey Judas, I went off the Mercedes forum for the torque of the bolts and my bolts were fine with 85ft/lb. but then again it’s just a forum and they’re probably not the correct measurements. Here’s the link: www.benzworld.org/threads/2009-e350-sport-brake-caliper-torque-values.2915625/ It’s the 3rd thread down where it points out the caliper mounting bracket to be fastened at 115nm which is roughly 85ft/lb when converted.

[@nathanc5789]

Those two 13mm bolts you took off of the front calipers.. Are those torque to spec? I thought these needed to be replaced with new when you loosen them as they stretch? Thanks for the torque specs on these by the way!

[@AlbanianFix]

Well, I mean... you can... if you'd like to. I never replaced and always tighten them by feel at least for myself and couple of friends that I've done and, so far, everything's been good.
