►The rear brakes on the Mercedes W205 are often overshadowed by its sizeable front brakes. In actuality, the rear brakes play just as important a role as the fronts. Replacing Mercedes W205 rear brake pads and rotors is an essential step in keeping your car on the road and problem-free. If you’re experiencing grinding, squeaking, or shaking/shuddering when coming to a stop, you should inspect your rear brakes before a failure occurs.
In this DIY, Kyle Bascombe, FCP Euro’s Mercedes-Benz Catalog Manager, takes us through the steps of how to inspect Mercedes W205 rear brakes, as well as the step-by-step procedure on how to replace them on a 2015 Mercedes C300.
This job can be completed easily in your garage or driveway with minimal tools, all of which are mentioned at the beginning of the video.

Noticed you didn’t apply any brake grease near any of the friction points or even the slide pins.
Excellent and very informative video. Thank you!
Does the C300 and E300 share the same brake pads and rotors?
Small question: The car should stay in accessory or ignition mode all that time, or we can switch off and finish the procedure after disk replacement?
Just a tip, if possible, try to film these in one take, that way you don't need to sync audio and video for each clip. I don't know if i'm sensitive for audio/video out of sync situations, but that was pretty disturbing to see. Yes i know there will be pauses and stuff, but memory is pretty cheap nowadays, and you will save the effort to sync separate clips.
Too bad most can't get serviced by FCP Euro. Even my local authorized/well respected Mercedes shop still isn't trusted by me.
this is changing your disks and pads on the hurry. clean the wheel hub, lubricate the guide pins, never-seize on the T30 bolt. so much left out.
Awesome DIY video! Thank you for providing this tutorial!
questions:
1. why cant you retract the piston by spinning it? like most if the japanese cars rear brake.
2. i seen videos before from other platform showing these type of brake disc have different torque sequence for the wheels. like Nm then add degrees. is this true?
Just a nit for your editor. In your tools listing millimeters is always abbreviated mm (Lower Case), never MM (upper case).
WAIT…is it a t30 or t25…..he said the but the list on the side said t25? Nm later in the vid they put t30
you should clean it up anyways and put some lube around the hub there for the next time..
Giving away all the secrets again lolz jk.. thanx Kyle The MB Gemstone Deliverer
