If you have to regrease the pins which brake paste should be used. It’s not clear on the website which item to order.
Very helpful! thx!!
Hi i have changed the front pads and sensor wire last week now just changed rear pads and sensor on the ml w166 but it is still saying check brake wear i have replaced the rear sensor wire twice but still saying check brake wear can you advise ? Thanks
Tip – if fitment menu doesn’t come up press the answer button first then the okay button. I kept getting the reset trip odometer screen initially.
Thank you for doing these – very helpful – getting a caliper spreader was prolly the only extra tool – and even that isn't truly necessary.
Any cross drilled option for 345 mm?
perfekt erklärt, schöne grüße aus Deutschland
I've got a x166 550. I want to upgrade to the GL 63 brakes, is it possible to upgrade? Obviously with the rotor, caliper and pads upgrade. Anything else to consider?
Is it the same for W166 ML350?
You didn't add anti seize to the brake tabs. Also, does the Benz not have floats that need attention?
you might want to re-check the bracket bolt spec. as stated in the video to be 55NM, I believe is incorrect.
thank you, very helpful
I have a 2015 ML400. Ran into snag on rear brakes. Didn’t have a caliper press and had to order it. Watched your video and saw the brake fitting position instruction. But did this with driver side rear brake disassembled. Wheel cylinder brake caliper extended all the way out. I’m worried I caused damage. I guess I’ll know when I get the retractor. Thanks for your video. Wish I had viewed it before starting the job. Live and learn.
I can confirm it's the same process and tools for 2014 gl 63amg. The only extra step I add a little high temp brake grease to the shim / pad contact area, helps with prevention of squeal.
Does this apply to a 2015 GL63 AMG?
