Thanks!

[@NewRoad]

Thank you very much for your support!

[@leokimvideo]

No need to mess with fitting position or reset, it's only for rear pad change

[@NewRoad]

It does not make any difference when you do it. Do you like hiking?

[@dblackkw]

As a mechanic, this was the most concise and detailed explanation on an automotive repair. I rarely see this on you tube, most times they're botched. Good R &R on the brake pads as well as video and editing. Keep up the good work. I hit the like button!

[@NewRoad]

Thank you very much

[@martinmollo]

Fitting position is valid for rear replace only; front brakes don’t have electric operation

[@d1cer10]

yep

[@markm8272]

so you do not need to put in fitting position if your doing front pads

It does not matter

[@TunedMercedes]

do you need to lubricate the calipers?

[@burner316]

You absolutely smashed it mate

[@th1ef]

How do you replace / remove the rotors, I am familiar with W204 but this will be the first time working with the AMG calipers on a W213. I have been getting a squealing sound when slowing down at stop signs etc. Dealer says this is “how the ‘high performance’ pads are.” Only 25,000KM on the car :/ hoping that these just need lubrication. Are there guide pins on the AMG calipers? I also get a an intermittent sound like a pad is not coming fully off the caliper when the brake is released, that’s why I wonder if guide pins might not be fully releasing the pads from the disc - intermittently

[@NewRoad]

To remove - undo two bolts on inside side as usual. Yea, check the guide pins for sure, or might be problem with sticky caliper - then it is better to replace the whole unit

[@pathowe4787]

Great video, many thanks 👍

[@collings23able]

My E350 coupe doesn't have an electric parking brake so I think the fitment setting wouldn't be necessary.

[@NewRoad]

In that case you are correct

Should i change front and real at same time or just front? If i change the front and not rear does the computer tell me to change it rear after it comes time

If you don't need to change rear - you don't have to. Car will adjust

The are plastic jack points in front of rear wheels and behind front wheels. You can lift by pushing controls arms or mid between wheels

[@NewRoad]

You can reuse old one if new didn't come with pads

[@dopeboiiage]

is there a difference between the c300/c450 front brake and rotors with the c43 amg?

[@NewRoad]

I'm not 100% sure, it depends on year, etc. - but in general the process, etc is the same

[@Mishatheaudioguy]

this is the sport cross drilled rotors, right? Regular version brakes (different caliper) None AMG/ Sport versions only have one piston vs the two on AMG ? Also regular brakes do not have the clips and and pads are longer too, right? Thanks

[@matte3561]

Great tutorial. Have a GLC300. Only difference is no sensor wire to worry about. Thanks!

[@NewRoad]

Cool, thanks

Is this the same process for a 16 c450 AMG?

When you are replacing pad - no, you don't need. It's only when you are changing brake fluid - you need to make sure you don't have air in brake lines

[@sergioalvarez397]

Thank you for the class!!!

[@hoangtubehoangtube]

Do we need to changr the rotor too ? How we know the thick is good for the rotor ? Thank you your video very helpful

[@NewRoad]

Each rotor manufacturer state the minimum thickness, so depends on the rotor that you have in your vehicle. Some helpful info from MB site: Signs that Your Brake Rotors Need to Be Replaced Replacing brake pads is a pretty straightforward car repair, and everyone knows they need to be replaced periodically. But what about brake rotors? They’re a more serious repair but no less important to replace when needed. In total, there are four brake rotors - one for each wheel. Rotors may need to be replaced anywhere from 15,000 to 70,000 miles. Here are some signs your Mercedes is ready for new brake rotors. Shaking When You Brake If the car shakes every time you brake, it could be a sign of failing rotors. This may be caused by rotors that are twisted or warped. It could mean the brake pads are having a problem meeting the rotors, which is why they’re causing problems. Any unusual vibrating while braking should be looked at. Noisy Brakes Though sounds don’t always accompany bad rotors, a squealing or squeaking sound could be a sign of a bad rotor. Squealing accompanies a warped rotor, while worn-out rotors are more likely to produce a scraping sound. The problem is that sometimes it’s brake pads, which need to be replaced, that produce these sounds and not necessarily a rotor. For that reason, you might want to inspect the rotors. Grooves and Score Marks on the Rotors If you suspect your rotors might need to be replaced, then take a look. Rotors sit right behind your wheels; they’re a disc-like object that spins around as you drive. If you can’t get a good look, rotate the steering wheel to the right or left to get a better angle. Because the brake pads are pressed against the rotors to slow down your car, it is not surprising to learn that rotors are going to wear out over time. That’s just how it is. As you inspect your rotors, look for grooves and scoring the brake pads caused. A good rotor will look very smooth and unmarked. If you see grooves or scoring, or both, on the rotors, the fact of the matter is they will likely need to be replaced. If not now, then soon. Rotor Is Too Thin If you are unsure whether the rotors have worn enough to need replacing, measure their thickness. This is done with a micrometer across the center of the rotor. If the thickness is above the minimum thickness according to the manufacturer, then they can be skimmed to smooth out any problem areas. However, if the rotors are thinner than the minimum, you will want to replace them. Though replacing the rotors can be an expensive repair, it is an essential part in the safety and care of your Mercedes and worth the investment. If you want to keep your rotors healthy, make sure you don’t ride your brake and use greater distance when you need to come to a stop. If there’s a red light up ahead, take your foot off the gas pedal and coast for a while, only applying the brake as you get closer to the car in front of you.

@@46Bax oh, I 100% agree that there are easier than this. I now have a MK7 GTI and just changed the brakes. It was a very "standard" process. Compared to a normal brake job, it's unnecessary work, but there are definitely worse. To change my brakes for my B8 A4 avant, I needed to buy a $500 VAGCOM cable to open the automatic parking brake. Such nonsense.

@@xSLWRTHNUx oh nice you got a vw golf too, they're so far the easiest cars to work on in my mind except they do take the piss with using different sizes torx and hex and qzn for almost every other bolt

[@xSLWRTHNUx]

@@46Bax Ya, they are definitely easy to work on. However, I used to be a mechanic for Honda back in the early 2000's. Now those were easy cars to work on! Every bolt was either 10mm, 14mm, or 17mm. The term "specialty tools" was not in my vocabulary. Those were the good ol' days.
