Not to be pedantic, but … how about a ’00?
Oh okay
Nope… The 98 and 99 are a little less user friendly, but not by much.
Is this the same procedure for 98 ml 320?
Hello, no, the brake part lubricant is sold seperate in little pouches but its pretty cheap. I usually buy Cerami-glyde brand.
Does the cleaner liquid comes with the brake pads?
Whats it called?
Youre welcome!!!
Thanks a lot for posting this. I saved myself 300 bacs, I bought the pads my self and fitted both front and rear without any issues. Many thanks.
Ouch… Im sorry to hear that… Reconsider either DIY or changing mech shops. I bet they sell the replaced rotors for personal profit too…
Great tip….every time I change my break pads they always change my rotors
Actually, yes you can! Pads generally wear out faster. A little observation when changing brakes will tell you if you A. Leave rotors alone, B. Remove and resurface or C. Remove and replace.
What about the rotors? You can’t just change brake pads without changing the rotors
Hi Scottfree6, in my time ive owned a ’99 ML320 and now my flagship ’05 ML500, they are both different proceedures, but Im not familiar with the ’02 ML320. PM me and we can discuss it further if you like!
Hey man, thanks for that video…great illustration of how to change these pads. well shot, and well explained…great one dude and thanks again..THUMBS UP!!! I see someone else asked a similar question but is a 2002 ml320 a similar procedure??
Hey thanks! Glad you enjoyed and hope it helped!
Yes the brakes are easy but I hope you dont have to replace the rear shocks on your car, you have less than 1/2 inch to take the top screws off and on. I will go to the MB dealership and I hope they can tell me what tool to use to take them off or I have to find a kid with small fingers to take them off. Great brake video again!!!
Great video!!! Thanks
nice compilation with the instruments requirements.. nice
Ray dude, sweet vid, I changed pads in minutes…vulcan tool didn’t need it. I did take cap off master cyl which helped with piston. Many thanks
this is great was wondering how hard it would be for me to change my brake discs, but seeing this great video im going to do them myself, thanks
Oh gosh its literally been about 7 or 8 years since I worked on the 320. I believe I actually had to take the whole caliper off as I was also doing the disks.
How close is this procedure to what you did on the 99 ML320? I am going to be changing my 2000 ML320 front brakes real soon.
I want Mercedes now hehehe
Thanks for that video….excellent step by step….
I havent used a c-clamp since I got rid of my ’99 ML-320, but I dont see why you couldnt use one… The Vulcan brake tool just makes it that much easier.
So I needs that brake pad tool separator? Or can I just take off the whole caliper and use a C-clamp to push the piston back in?
I got mine from sears online catalog, it was 20 bucks and was delivered to the house in three days.
RayVal: Thank you for taking time to make video. That was easy. The Vulcan Brake Pad Separator Tool Thing, can that be purchased at any auto parts place?
