This DIY shows how to replace the brake rotors and pads on an E55 AMG w211 e-class Mercedes.
In this brake job I’m using Akebono ceramic EUR983 brake pads that help minimize brake dust. The massive 8-piston calipers take 4 pads each.
The change process is much the same on other big AMG cars from this era such as the CLS55, S55, SL55, CL55, S65, CL65 and SL65.

The best DIY video ever ever ever…. no question about it. Well organized work progress and great video quality.
great video, thanks. any chance you could list all bolt type/sizes for the same job on the Rear?
Any issues with the meyle rotors and the ceramic pads? Looking to do the similar setup every soon but just want to know how the rotors preform. Not out of round or warping issues with the ceramic pads??
well done video! thanks
is this the same for the 09 C63 amg???
Hey are these rotors the same as the s55 2003??
i have an 2007 e63 amg. will these rotors fit my car?
Great video. Thank you for posting. Are you required to change the rotors each time you change the pads?
awesome video!! will be doing a service on my 05 e55. im planning on ceramic. coating my calipers. so this will be done as well.
Where does one get the metal backing plate that holds the pads in? I need replacements but can't find them anywhere. I can locate the mounting pins that hold the pads in the calipers but not the rear facing metal brackets that the pins go through.
you dont have to unplug the SBC pump. just jack the car up and dont touch the door handles while servicing the brakes.
Is the process the same for a 2003 SL 55 AMG ?
damn those things are massive
is this the same for a 09 C63 AMG?
Is no warning light flashing becouse the disconnected SBC?
great video but i would avoid using thread lock on those bolts as it will be a PITA when it comes to doing the pads/rotors again. A nice snug to those bolts is all it needs.
well I just purchased a 05 e55 I'm glad I ran across this lol uncomplicate the 1st time…… my question is this there's no pistons in the calipers? so there no need to bleed the system after removal of the pads an calipers? from what I seen no but hey I'd like to ask still
thanks men i love u
great video, thank you. I have a 2010 e63 amg. you have any tips before i do the front brakes?
Great vid, thanks for posting. I'll be using it for my CLS55 brake job next month.
do a video for the rears to
Great videos!! Keep them coming. How did you know you had to disconnect that Sbc. Are you a mb tech?
Thanks for the vid! Im about to perform this service and was wondering how long did you have to wait until the car went to "sleep" or when is the right time to disconnect the SBC?
Thanks!!!
