Awesome video! Instructions down to a T. Only additional tip is a T40 bit is needed instead of 7mm HEX (for removing caliper pins) on my 2008 W211. The suggestion for a breaker bar for the rotor bolts is right now. There was no way I could have loosened it without it. If doing this job with jack stands you can only use a breaker bar up to 18". Any longer would not have enough clearance. Perfect step by step instructions. Thanks Kyle!

Very well done diy video,only thing is depending on the year the caliper pins(bolts)will be a T40 torx and not a 7mm,if you have the T40's be carefull they are tight and you must stay real square and apply hard inward pressure to break loose as they will strip very easy,when you get them out throw them in the trash and buy a replacement set from NAPA like 4 bucks and they will be 7mm heads much better,

Hello Kyle, a very enlightening video - thanks. I have a 2012 E500 Coupe and I want to just replace the disks. The pads have just been replaced so there won't be an issue with just replacing the discs. Is possible to remove the complete disc brake assembly by simply undoing the two bolds that hold the assembly to the chassis? I realise I'll have to retract the pads a little to get over the wear lip. Regards from the UK.

To keep things under control, I wouldn't remove the rotor screw until you are ready to take the rotor off, but I think Kyle is right about when to loosen it. I use three kinds of cleaning brushes to clean things up, stiff nylon for brake dust, brass for light corrosion, and stainless steel for heavy corrosion and the threads on bolts. On older Benzes, the manual prescribes using new bolts with encapsulated thread locker or blue Loctite on the caliper bolts and the rotor screw. I apply a thin coating of anti-seize on the contact surfaces of the hub and rotor so it will come apart next time. It would be great if Kyle could provide torque specs for the caliper and bracket bolts and the wheel lugs. Great video. Shows how easy this job actually is. Don't forget to reset the parking brake shoes after replacing the rear rotors.

Hi Bruce, oftentimes they can be very stuck on there. It would be best to grab a good size hammer and work the rotor all the way around until it pops off.

Hey Ken - if you're not planning on keeping the rotor and just throwing it out, you can hit the braking surface of the rotor for max leverage. If you're keeping the rotors, you can hit the front of the hat of the rotor (not the braking surface) in a circular motion to try to loosen it!
