Good job! Thank you for your brake videos for the CLS550. You are very clear and easy to understand. I have a 2007 CLS550. I urge you to make more videos on DIY type repairs for the CLS550. There is very little repair information on the web for this vehicle.
Your rotor came off very easy. Even though the parking brake was off on my 2009, my rotor was hung up on the parking brake shoes. Had to fight to get it off.
Nice video. I changed the front brakes and rotors yesterday (first time doing this), and am now studying up to do the rears. What did you torque the caliper bolts to? Looking at my car yesterday, I was concerned about getting access to these w/ a socket, but you seemed to do fine with it.
Make sure the E-Brake is off. The Rotor will not slide off with the E-Brake on. If the E-Brake is still too tight; then use a flat blade screw driver to release the tension on the brake by turning the gear wheel tensioner.
Hello, Great video by the way, I have a 06 cls500 and I want to try and change them out my self. Do I need to bleed out the brake line or just follow step by step how you did it by just uncapping the reservoir? Any feed back would be highly appreciated. Thank You
Jose Gaitan You do not need to bleed the brakes unless you open the hydraulic system. I do not open the system, I use a compression tool to compress the cylinder. I never open the hydraulic side unless I’m changing out the brake fluid; which you should do every 3 or 4 years.
@@bbjj2867 don’t be a sore loser just because you found out your 500 wasn’t an amg. Let’s hope you weren’t cringy enough to put an amg badge on the back of it too 😂

John Salla - thanks bro!
I really have not had any other repairs. The car has been very reliable
A spot of loctite huh? Jack stands what about shoes ?

It happens some times. Just pull it off a strait as possible.
Awesome vid! after watching it I feel confident enough to give it a try.

Cool. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Did the kit come with sencor and hardware
The Axel pack does not include the sensor. I bought the sensor on Partsgeek.com for $8. You only need 1 sensor.
Quality job - no corners cut.
I followed ur oinstructs, rotor isint sliding off? Thanks for the vid

So after your done inserting the brake pads you use a compression tool to make sure you seat the brake pads against the rotors??
Or do you just install pads and that's it..I have a cls 550 08..and want to give it a try myself..thanks and great video
is it the same for a CLS 500 AMG
No such thing as a 500 amg, the body styling does not change the engine bud
@@N00byDude01 I had a 2006 CLS 500 AMG. I do know what I'm talking about Bud
@@bbjj2867 2006 models only had 500 and 55. I have the 500 myself with amg style options but it’s still not amg.
@@N00byDude01 I don't care what you had. I know what I had.

Vaseline on rubber makes it swell. NO GOOD BUDDY.
The rubber is VITON. It does not swell.
