Mercedes Sprinter - Front Brake Caliper , Brake Pads & Brake Rotor Replacement

[@rastrand1]

This is the best brake video for Sprinters that I've seen. Appreciate the torque specs too. Other sites didn't show bleeding which is the secret to good pedal response. THANKS

@rastrand1 My Pleasure! Thanks

[@geofffelsing1283]

Nice! thanks for the video and keep this format; it's very straight forward and concise.

2013 Sprinter truck here, in Scotland, I just serviced the rear brakes, the handbrake seizing is a common problem esp here where they salt the roads in Winter. Now thanks to you, I'm going to tackle the front ones. 🙂

Man this video is awesome, so in-depth, yet understandable even for the average joe! I will have to the front brakes on my 2005 Sprinter, I suspect the process is the same? Again, great work, subbed!

What about showing how to do the rear brake pads and rotors? I like your work!

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@jmathews1769 Thank you! I do have a video about rear brake pads and rotor replacement!

I enjoyed your video. It’s going to help me put the brakes on the front of my 2012 sprinter. Thank you very much.

My lower 6mm allen bolt that holds the caliper is rusted and buggered and the allen key will not remove. If I cut in the center of the rubber boot with a 4" disk cutoff blade/saw, remove the bolt and then with vise grips and heat remove the stub left in the caliper...Excellent video....TIA

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@RW4x4van My Pleasure1 Good luck with your project

[@RW4x4van]

@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair I should have asked more in the form of a question...Will this work for removing the bolt in your opinion?

[@josepacheco2416]

Great video , I’ve done 2 brake jobs, all 4 wheels on my ‘17 sprinter , never had an issue with frozen calipers , question is what are causes for caliper to freeze up ! Once again thank you for your videos , they have helped me tremendously

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@josepacheco2416 Thanks! this usually happens on vehicles that are parked for a while, and age can cause this too!

[@rcf8367]

Great job, Sprinters must have a big brake reservoir to not have to check the fluid level…

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@rcf8367 Thanks! yes, it has a pretty big brake fluid tank but you have to check the fluid while doing this process!!

Brake fluid is readily absorbed thru the skin and can cause serious health problems thru repeated, long term exposure. Nice to see the gloves; however, you were exposed. Please use the tube.

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@hypocrisyrules Thanks! will do next time!

I was thinking the same when I seen it squiring on his wrist, I was like 'cringe' lol

Quelle misère tout ce liquide de frein qui coule dans les nouvelles plaquettes 😢 Il faudrait tout re-démonter et tout re-nettoyer !

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@stephanemillien4828 Non sa ne tomber pas sur les plaquette de frein

[@crunkwun]

I stopped watching when tried to retract the pistons the way you did. As a mobile mechanic I would not recommend this advice.

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@crunkwun Really??

[@crunkwun]

Remove cap from brake reservoir, remove half brake fluid from reservoir. Remove brake sensor with needle nose pliers Loosen top and bottom pins with 6mm Allen key Top and bottom pin retract with a flat head screw driver so you can take the caliper bracket off. Brake pads slide out Clean the area Use your brake piston tool to push pistons back Add your lubrication Add new brake pads Reinstall bracket Tighten to spec and done

[@chefpaolo64]

People watch videos for informative purposes he never says what size tools he's using what size wrenches or sockets he lost me the first minute into the video sorry dude you really need to be more precise when you're doing videos

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@chefpaolo64 Good to know, Thanks!
