Step by step video: How to change your brakes on a Mercedes SLK.
Do your own brake job. Most of my videos are shot with me holding the camera. (Meaning I do these repairs with one hand… If I can do these jobs one handed, I’m sure you can get it done with both hands).. Enjoy!

Having been in the automotive industry for almost 8 years now I wouldn't bother with the sandpaper. Best thing to do is take your rotors to a local parts store to be machined or to replace them. There's a nice fat rust lip on the end there indicating significant wear which usually indicated warping as well. I second removing the reservoir cap before compression the piston or opening the bleeder. You'll have to bleed the brakes regardless and you might as well be pushing clean fluid through! Great video though!
Once you do a brake job on a Mercedes, you quickly find out that those Germans don't have a fucking clue about engineering. Ford has them beat by a long shot. And, who puts an oil filter on the top of the motor? Where do you think the sediment goes? On top of that, why do I need 2 hands to open the fucking trunk? Idiots! And what is with that giant, irritating, red triangle on my dashboard? You MIGHT need that stupid button once a year. Why does it need to be the center of attraction?
Great tutorial. I notice that you cut out the 30 minutes of cussing while trying to get that damn spring in the bottom hole. BTW…if you do the rotors you do not have to mess with those T45 screws. Just remove the 2x 18mm head screws and the entire assembly comes right off. Actually, much easier. I had one hell of a time trying to get the rotors off the hub. Had to heat up the center and the pry them off with my $19.95 China jack handle. I placed the handle between the back of the rotor and the 18mm bolt ear. Beating it with a hammer did nothing.
Kill me now! Just get on with it, it's excruciatingly slow.
What year are you working on ???????
Nice Job, Thanks for sharing
