Congratulations!!! One of the very BEST videos on replacing rotors/pads on a 03 - 09 W211 Mercedes. Thank you kindly...
Unsure if anyone knows but the cap on the piston, is it necessary. I'm changing my rotors and pads and mine seems a bit crimped but was able to place it back in while putting everything together.
You can see the cap at 3:56
I do not thing I changed mine out.
Don't forget to clean and relubricate the caliber slides. Very important to do so.
Good point! I had performed that step but, did not get it on camera!
Did you have to spread the caliper before removing the pads?
The pads came right out for removal. I had to push the caliper piston in to install the new pads, since they are thicker, before trying to reinstall the caliper on the bracket.
@@WJsLifeonaBoat Thanks, your video is very helpful!
Do you lock the door first before servicing the brakes?
No? I'm not sure what you mean?
@@WJsLifeonaBoat Well, I did some research on forums and people say that you make sure the cars are locked first before servicing the brakes. Otherwise you would trigger the SBC system saying that there's a brake problem. I'm just curious.
@@unrealriot never heard of that, nor had any issues. I didn't disconnect the brake lines or anything. I suppose I'll refer you to the service manual.
@@WJsLifeonaBoat Got it. Thanks for your info about your experience. I was questioning myself whether I need to disable the SBC first.
@@unrealriot safe way may be to do that based on the service manual. But like I said, I just took it apart, replaced the rotor and pad and called it a day.
Nice torque wrench I got the same one. Lol
Did you have to program the car for this service? What type of computer did you use?
No need for reprogramming. No computer needed.
Thanks
You got very lucky.
You are supposed to disable the SBC brake system. If it activated while your hand was in there it could crush it. Or if the caliper was off the car it could push the piston out of the caliper and spew brake fluid all over the place.
Count your blessings, you got lucky!
Excellent comment - I go so far as to disconnect the multi-pin connector under the hood just left of front center. Hopefully, your comment may save some poor DIY'er his finger...@@DirtyRottenBikes
did you deactivate sbc pump first? or there is no need
I didn't do anything to the SBC
Please DISABLE the SBC pump BEFORE trying to do this!
MUST disable SBC before doing brake work or risk losing a finger. If it should become activated via remote key or errand radio signals, could activate and cause caliper slam shut. I ALWAYS disconnect the SBC connector just to the left front (passenger-side) of the engine bay. Once work is completed, I re-plug the multiple pin connector and all is well, especially my 10 fingers.
@@williamnewsome5169 Just disconnect the battery. End of the story!
@@WJsLifeonaBoat Then you are either lucky or stupid. Take your pick!
WRONG! If you have the SBC brake system you MUST either deactivate the system or remove the negative off the battery & leave the doors closed. If you don't the brake pistons can kill you!
Music is terrible too. This video is nothing like my 2006 E350.
