Hey great informative video, I got the set off of your website and did my brakes. I do have a question tho: shouldn’t the guide pin bolts be torqued to 25 Nm instead of 8 Nm? I’ve seen different people doing it to that
you could put the sensor on before the caliper, It wont be an issue. also you should inspect your guide pins and clean up and lube up to make sure they will not seized up and cause uneven wear.
It seems like this isn't that complicated of a job as long as you have the correct tools. I'm sure that once you do it for the first time that it will be easy doing it again in the future.
Hi Yancey! One-piston calipers will be known as a "sliding caliper" and will look a lot like the ones you see Mike working on in this video. Both two- and four-piston W203 calipers are a "fixed" caliper, and will look pretty different to the ones you see in this video. Aside from the fixed calipers generally having the "Mercedes-Benz" branding across the face of the caliper, you can also search for photos of Mercedes Part Number 0024200883 and 0034203683 to compare the fixed calipers against ones on your C320. Hope this helps!
Yeah and paid 3 times more for the price compare to the oem parts.. nope i will stick with oem parts on lot of hardware on my mercedes.. buying original mercedes parts is only waste of money, lot other high quality parts from germany such as vaico, meyle and many more.. even my internal engines components such as timing chain set i use oem germany parts instead of original.. been owning 3 mercedes in my life and those oem parts never gave any trouble.
One of the best cameras filming automotive content. That's really 💯
Thanks for the Clear, detail video! Just don’t know how many people you help!
Great job with such details, you can't make a mistake. More grease to your elbow guys. Keep the job up
Thank you for the kind words!
Thank you for the torque settings. Would like to see w164 videos!
Great video, thought i would need some help, but after watching i will do breaks on my own, thanks:)
thanks homie just got this car freaking love the black interior is so beautiful
This guy is great! I hope we continue to see him on more videos!
I like this channel. It's so much fun and useful
Glad you enjoy it!
Good Job. C an you do one for the rear rotors?
good video but! before pushing piston back you should check brake fluid level as it could over fill!
Great point!
Thx! Absolutely a well done video! 🎉
Our pleasure!
the disc retaining screw is 10nm also i remove the guide pins clean them and regrease

Good points, was going to say the same thing about guide pins. Especially in the rust belt, keep the pins lubed and clean! Twice mine seized up
very nice video
Are TRW excellent pads and longtime?
We've found them to have a great brake bite/feeling. As far as how long they last, that depends on your braking style

I have a 2004 C320 Base model. I keep seeing parts that say "1 or 4 piston front calipers". How do I know which rotor/pad kits to purchase?

Should buy original Mercedes parts

Why does no on ever mention the most important part, of bleeding the brakes afterword...
