Fantastic tutorial. I completed my first ever brake discs and pads change yesterday following this. You also showed me how to do an oil and filter change previously. Thanks so much. Perhaps you should put a link for people to buy you a coffee (or a pint) somewhere in the description? 👍

[@garyjankowski9042]

I have never changed Discs or Pads on any vehicle I've owned but after watching this video I may attempt. A super video and audio description . Well done.

[@hungryjkeith]

Really great video. Clear instructions and made it look simple and easy. This video will save me a couple thousand dollars by doing the service myself when ready.

[@SelectVehicleSpares]

Great to hear!

[@imhungry2387]

A couple thousand dollars you need to stop going wherever you been going

[@iTsTHumpa]

Great deeply detailed video. I’ve noticed there are 2 different caliper designs with these model years and it definitely makes a difference.

[@murraygreen8706]

Absolutely! If you have one that isn't shown in any video I have found there are some surprises. Just record your removal and replace the same. There is a spring holding the outer pad which may give you some grief. Can't find any torque numbers. In the dealer manual no doubt Use locktite

[@iTsTHumpa]

@@murraygreen8706 luckily mine didn’t have a spring. Unless you’re talking about the piston? Just push it in with a c clamp 🗜 and good to go

[@murraygreen8706]

Glad you didn't have to deal with the spring. I have only seen one image on the internet that looks like my car but no info.

[@WeeGee58]

This is a job I'm planning to do in the coming days,useful informative video. Ty.

[@Pavitt403]

Thanks for that video, really simple to follow.

[@grandadbob100owen5]

Top class video and workmanship !

[@caseyhaufler487]

That video was perfect!!!

[@dubsteptt]

brilliant video will be doing all 4 of mine this summer

[@pauljenkins7]

Can you do a video for the rear brakes please? 🤞🏼

[@lguerecaable]

Thanks!

[@nobbylamrock6997]

Very good technique..!!!

[@ambientsounds1416]

Best video.

[@AMG19698]

Perfect job but on Mercedes i prefer Textar brake pads.....!

[@AndreA-ke2id]

Couple of points. It would have been best to use thread lock on the carrier bolts. Mercedes do that. Also, no need to clean the metal clips as new ones come with the new pads.

[@chertanger]

Bonjour, merci pour la vidéo, ma question est-ce que il y a un seul sens de montage du disque en fonction du sens de rotation de la roue

[@Dnasty1]

Hey great video... was wondering if that black plate on your caliper that usually says mercedes benz is removeable for the w204? Also copper, aluminum, silicone, purple ceramic... which is best for brake jobs the amount of different materials for the same job makes this confusing. I bought some purple ceramic which they said is supposed to be the cream of the crop and I think it actually is causing my brakes to stick and freeze by turning into a gum sort of mess combined with the brake dust.

[@jodsonjeanlouis7423]

👍👍👍👍

[@NeOAnderson]

What is the correct torque for these things though?

[@SM_TheTraveller]

Hi which brand brake discs did you use ?

[@rishabhnarang1992]

Bro i just want to ask that bosch disc and break pads are good for this car or we can go for mercedes original?

[@jbaillie01]

Great video but missing bit I need. I have brembo directional pads can't tell which way

[@SelectVehicleSpares]

Are there arrows on the back of the pads? If so, these should point in the direction that the disc goes when travelling forwards.

[@janitorandporterser3201]

I did all that but now the caliper carrier is scraping with the new rotor

[@mumtazzafar5696]

It's not properly fitted

[@NG-sx9pw]

Is it the same process for W205 C250 Sport

[@Mark-cm9ls]

I've watch Yr vid and though am going give it a go..you made it look so easy..when I put the discs and pads on though I turned them by hand and could here a on off scraping sound and the discs were marked where the pads where rubbing..thought they just need bedding in so put wheels back on for test drive only to smell burning and see smoke..is this normal for new pads and discs

[@timb7775]

If you compressed the caliper piston all the way back you should not get the pads scraping the rotors. Did you use OEM or aftermarket parts?

[@IDKman1098]

Are there torque specs for both front and rear?

[@timb7775]

Rotor screw 10nm. Caliper bolts 34nm. Brake carrier bolts 110nm. Front. Rear should be similar.

[@lowes1966]

Wish I’d watched this video first! None of the other guides I watched had a plate on the calliper. I tried to remove mine so that I could use the piston return tool and it snapped off. It doesn’t seem like the most critical component so I’m hoping that it won’t cause issues. I don’t suppose you can shed some light on it?

[@SelectVehicleSpares]

Do you mean the plates on each end of the caliper where the brake pads slide in to? If so, yes these are required, nothing should be missing from the brake setup, they are there from the factory for a reason.

[@dj_notnice]

It’s just a plate used for decals such as AMG

[@lf7161]

Is there no need to bleed the brakes? Will it be okay if I just change the pads or do you need to bleed the brakes then?

[@SelectVehicleSpares]

There is no need to bleed the brakes when changing discs and pads.

[@lf7161]

@@SelectVehicleSparesthanks , I just plan on changing pads so I will have to bleed the brakes then 👍
