I replaced my front brakepads and rotors of my ML320 '98 couldn't have done it without this exellent step by step video!Never thought it would be that easy,but without the vid it was impossible for me!!It was fun to do and saved me a lot of money!!THANK YOU AUTOMOTIVE........Greetings René (The Netherlands)

[@HowtoAutomotive]

rebu40 wow the Netherlands that's cool👍🏻 Glad the video helped thank you for sharing and watching!! Cheers

[@elgiacomo]

Just wanted to follow up and post that I just completed a front brake pad replacement on my 2001 ML320, and your video was VERY helpful! The only thing that was different on mine, and it may have just been an error in narration as everything else was identical, but the caliper bolts used a T-40 Torx bit, as opposed to a T-30 mentioned in the video. The overall process was fairly easy, although setting the new inner pads with the 3 prongs did give me some grief, but I finally got 'em. The new pads work well and I'm SO RELIEVED not to hear that anxiety-inducing BEEP-BEEP-BEEP along with the brake warning lights any longer!!!!!!!! Thumbs up & subbed! Cheers!

[@johnausilio7112]

very impressed ! the level of expertise you used was great. Solid brake job. Thanks

[@johnsnow9499]

[@arnoldbaclig7709]

[@MidwestMotoRider]

Another great video!

[@hansenturbo6843]

Im going to change my brakepads on my ML 270 w163 2000 model. I can see that this vid was about changing brake pads on an 2005 ML350, but is it the same on my car?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Hansen TURBO yes it's the same. Thank you for watching!

Lee Mayberry glad to help. Thank you for watching!

[@goatedkota430]

Do NOT LOCKTITE ANY OF THIS

[@101lukman]

What tools did you used?

[@mamatoto5387]

My sensor cord is shorter on my new pads.. Can't get beeping to atop.. Any ideas??

[@rogerspinks8466]

Do the spark plugs on the 350 thanks

[@slpip]

Save a little money won't save a life. I don't mind the car can't run but I do mind the car couldn't stop. Rotors and pads are cheap since you work on your car, you already save labor cost. I paid $170 for a set of 4 anti-rusts coated with cooling holes and slots rotors, 2 sensors, and 4 sets of ceramic brake pads for my Mercedes ML320. Use ceramic brake pads for a sure stop and cooler braking.

[@elgiacomo]

Thank you.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

elgiacomo thank you for watching! Did you do the job yet and did it go smooth?

[@elgiacomo]

Not yet, just researching parts and process, but your video should come in very handy when I'm ready to replace the pads!

[@jeffreycicero6685]

T30 might work but will likely strip the caliper pin/bolt and render it useless. Go with the correct T40 instead.

[@Koru_mah]

I wouldn't put that much grease at the back of the pads. Good video though - down to business.

[@DarkShooper]

T-40

[@robdonell3301]

Our 02 ml320 has 59K miles. It needs pads only - not the rotor. How important is it to replace the rotor too?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

rob donell as long as the rotors are thick enough and not too badly grooved you should be OK. If you feel vibrations when you brake now then the rotors will need to be turned or replaced.

[@robdonell9915]

What does 'turning the rotors' mean?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

rob donell machining cutting the rotors flat again. With a brake lathe.

[@robdonell9915]

I had a young fella come by today and replace the front pads. I was his very first customer; he learned brakes from his father who used to run a brake shop.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

rob donell that is really cool! Thank you for sharing.

[@grettzmendoza951]

I love your video but the problem is your hand isn't steady and makes dizzy watching the video.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Grettz Mendoza i use a lot more mounts now on my newer videos. Also use a gimbal to make it much more stable.
