This video is step-by-step instructions for replacing rear brake pads and rotors on Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300 W205 W206
While the vehicle is still on the ground and with the parking brake on, break free all rear-wheel lug nut bolts. Chock front wheels to prevent vehicle from rolling. Lift the wheel off the ground.
Before removing brake caliper and pads you need to move brakes in Fitting position. Press OK to move to Fitting Position
Remove bolt caps and undo 2 caliper bolts
Detach brake pad sensor and Detach caliper wires
Detach caliper and clean caliper with brake cleaner
Push Caliper piston in using caliper spreader tool
Install new brake pads
Reinstall caliper with 2 bolts. Finish tightening bolts to your vehicle torque spec. For my vehicle: 25 ft. lbs.
Attach caliper wires and attach brake pad sensor
When brake pads are replaced, don't forget to exit Fitting Position

I've got a 2019 C Class 220D. Independent garage said they needed a code to do rear pads which they didn't have. I had a Renault which was a doddle to do - wire from the battery and it wound the calipers back for you. Thanks for the video. Very well filmed and clear. 👏

[@spineguy1553]

Great video. For an amateur a couple things to consider. In your brake set. Where the sensor will click in. You will put those pads on separate sides. If you have a large C clamp. Use the old brake pad put it on top of the caliper and use the c clamp to compress the cylinder in. If you don’t have the tool in video. If you don’t have a 7mm. Use a T45 works perfect. Just changed my rear brakes in less than 40minutes.

[@MrGeo19792000]

Hi!!! Thank you for doing this video. I was so overwhelmed i was about to pay $400 to $800 To change the rear brakes on my 2016 C300 but luckily I ran into your video and now o.k. know how to change them. THANK YOU YOUR VIDEO WAS VERY VERY HELPFUL! hope you make more.

Where was you able to find your torque specs? All I can seem to find online is Wheel nut torque specs. :(

[@Robert_Hall90]

Hiya mate do you need to pump the pedal to bring the pistons out before exiting the mode or does exiting that mode use the electric hand brake motor to wind the pistons back?

[@NewRoad]

Exit the mode and pump the brakes to test it and make sure all good

[@steven__7009]

Where do you get pads? I was going to get a new set of pads for front and rear, and rotors for the front as well. Any recommendations?

[@NewRoad]

Most of my parts I buy from rockauto.com, and usually go with BOSCH or ACDELCO

[@KraftySkillz]

I have an E-class W213 220D, i take it that applies to mine as well? Also, spoke to an indie and he said that the caliper would need calibrating as its electronic, any truth to this? I want to give this a go myself.

[@NewRoad]

Go for it. When brake pads move back to fitting position - it calibrates itself. I changed both, front and rear pads, and no problem or messages

[@williamtorres4214]

I have a 2016 MB c300 after the whole break pad change and everything is done do I need to bleed the break or just out the wheel back in and take it off fitting mode and that’s it

[@NewRoad]

You don't need to bleed brakes if you just followed this video. Take it off fitting mode and press brake pedal few times until it's firm - and you good to go. You need to bleed brakes if you change brake caliper or it is time to flush brake fluid as per maintenance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHnLopapZ7h9gbM

[@jobjose6539]

Thanks bro...

[@NewRoad]

Welcome

[@kerm281]

May I know what happens if you changed your pads without going to the fitting position? What will happen ? Great vid btw thanks

[@robertlasater2609]

GOOD VIDEO MATE.....WHATS THE WHEEL LUG TORQUE YOU USED THERE?

[@NewRoad]

If you have operator's manual the spec should be in Wheels and Tires section. Mine is 2017 C300 and it says - 96 lb-ft (130Nm)

[@hassan150]

I have a 2020 W205, where do I find out the torque specification for wheels or calliper bolts? Great vid!!

[@NewRoad]

I would assume since it is the same (W205) it should be the same, but double check with Mercedes dealer

[@hassan150]

@@NewRoad thanks, is there a specific website you used for the torque specifications?

[@jgomez7822]

So on a Mercedes the fitting position when you're done you exit it's basically pumping the brake fluid for you instead of you doing yourself correct?

[@jgomez7822]

Like when you change your brakes on a Honda afterwards you close the brake fluid cap and you pump the brakes with your foot with the Mercedes it does it on its own when you exit position correct

[@NewRoad]

It's always good idea to pump it

[@mickivanov]

The car should stay with ignition on all the time while performing the procedure... or we can switch off the ignition ?

[@NewRoad]

I left it on

[@rakun1212]

Why didn’t you clean and lube the slide pins while you had this apart?

[@NewRoad]

Mine was clean and in good condition - but it is a Good idea!

[@JK-dx5ts]

after you have put the car in the 'fitting position' do you have to leave the car on?

[@NewRoad]

no, you can shut down

[@REAHT]

Do you need two sensors for rear brakes or only on one side ?

[@NewRoad]

One on one side

[@timelessestates4946]

Would the same setup go for a 2019 glc300? And is the caliper piston spreader too required?

[@NewRoad]

You should be able to change on your glc as well by just following this video, and yes - it is good idea to get spreader, it makes the job much easier and it is not expensive: amzn.to/2YBGYWb

[@williamtorres4214]

Do you need to bleed the brakes ? Or would it be good after all that ?

[@NewRoad]

If you are replacing just pads - you don't need to bleed brakes. Here is full maintenance schedule for Mercedes which indicates when to bleed brakes.

[@davidstadulis3356]

Are front and rear rotors the same on a 2016 C300 AWD non AMG? MBUSA only shows one part number. Thanks.

[@NewRoad]

I'm not sure to be honest. You can also check fcpeuro.com and rockauto.com to see more choices

[@cadillacnick8533]

Do u have to change the rotors if there not bad when changing the breaks

[@NewRoad]

@@cadillacnick8533 You don't need to change rotors if they are ok

[@youngdee8826]

After replacing the brakes I pressed ok but before I did the other side do I have to start the process over?

[@NewRoad]

Yes, you need to move to fitting position

[@1tapster]

exactly what i was looking for, glad i can learn from your mistake instead of making it. Thanks

[@user-ht4pz1by9z]

do i have to set it to fitting position twice for both sides or once for both side?

[@NewRoad]

You set once as in video and exit when done all brakes

[@safadadon3484]

So basically leave on fitting position before you press ok you do both sides first

[@NewRoad]

[@scottsoriero9827]

I have been a mechanic for over 45 years and have done so many types of brakes over the years its not funny. I am not criticizing and I appreciate anyone who puts up how to videos, I'm just asking. Why didn't you service or replace the rotors? I know the pads will seat, but they will also initially wear very rapidly and will cause some break squeaks down the road. Plus, and most annoyingly will without a doubt cause some brake shuttering when braking hard. Just a thought. Thanks for the video.

[@NewRoad]

Appreciate your feedback. Rotors were less than 3 years old with low mileage, and looked good to me. It's easy to replace them anyway if required. So far, mine C300 drives like new (knocking on wood)

[@cadillacnick8533]
