I replaced my brake pads on my C Class for the first time today. Thank to the video, it gave me a lot of help! Thank's! I didn't hang the piston caliper by the hose, and used grease. Other than that, the video is very helpful!
I was priced a 425.00 to change my rotors and pads I purchased, mechanic said it took longer for rear brakes on a 2007 Mercedes R350, the price seems way, I is that fair or blowing smoke
Everywhere I search I'm finding different sockets used, for the T30 torx you use I'm finding people claiming it's a T27 torx, and for the 7mm allen I'm finding people claiming it's a T40, also for the 18mm socket I'm finding people claiming it may be a Torx. I'm also finding people claiming to remove the rotor there is a "service mode" you have to put the car in using the instrument gauge cluster that automaticaly pushes the emergency brake back. Guess I'll have to be sure to purchase ALL the various tools just to make sure I have everything.

You can risk damaging the brake hose when you leave the caliper hanging by the hose. And as another user said: "grease" The concept of the video is good though.
Thank you for the feedback! We are glad that our tutorial was helpful for you. Your opinion and remarks are very important for us. We will take them into consideration for our next tutorial. Best regards, Autodoc.
Thank you for your feedback! The replacement procedure will be similar, however some of the elements can vary due to the difference in car designs. Best regards, Autodoc!
In general, the replacement will be similar, the only thing may be slightly different is the design features of your car. More accurate information can be obtained from the technical documentation for the car or by contacting a car service.
Didn't mention about removing some of the brake fluid in the reservoir under the hood. When you push the piston back into the caliper, it (the brake fluid) will overflow. Especially if you do all 4 corners! Oh, and take the lid off or you'll hear a big 'pop' and there will be brake fluid everywhere and eating through your paintwork!!!
Kinda messed up you didnt loosen the brake shoe and people think that the brake disc is just proper stuck in there so when they force it off you mess up the brake shoes and theire springs and no diy mechanic will change brake shoes by themselves
Thank you for feedback. We recomend you to contact our support team and our experts will help you with all questions concerning the parts in stock and suitability. Please feel free to contact us.We are looking forward to hearing from you.Best regards, Autodoc!
I did this today, step by step. When I drove home, there is a scraping sound coming from the rear brakes. I stopped and looked for unusual marks but only see where the new pads cleaned the new discs. Is it possible that I did not allign the disc before tightening the screw? The wheel bolts went in fine though. Is it possible that the disc is scraping against the back dust cover plate? So the scratches would be on the inside of the disc? Is it normal to have it scraping because it's new? I don't believe it should... What did I do wrong? When I tightened the screw all the holes lined up....
@@autodocuk thanks, I removed the wheel, caliper and disc again and found that the dust cover was scratching against the disc. Fixed it with a little panel beating and put everything back together, problem solved! Thanks for the reply.
Thank you for your feedback! Unfortunately, it is not possible to specify the exact torque rating, we recommend you look it up in the vehicle documents. Be sure to contact our Customer Support if any other assistance is required! Kind regards, Autodoc!
@@autodocuk what I meant was... on some cars, the rear brake cylinder needs to be rotated with a tool in order to compress it into the caliper; does this vehicle use the same procedure?
The need to turn the piston on some calipers is to wind back the handbrake auto adjustment mechanism. The Merc has a drum brake operating in the bell of the disc. No windback necessary
So now I've been at it 2 hrs trying to get the rotor from the grasp of those ferkin parking brake shoes. Top one's clear and the rotors at an angle and nearly there, but won't let go of the bottom one!! Any ideas anyone? Am I supposed to back of the shoes by adjusting them somehow? Grrrrrrr.......
Update...yes I'm supposed to back the parking brake shoes off by turning the star type adjuster with a flathead screwdriver. Once backed off and a couple of bangs and tugs later the rotor slipped off.
Thank you for your comment! We highly recommend that you contact our Customer Support agents and you will get an advice or please specify your question more detailed? We look forward to hearing from you! Best regards, Autodoc!

great job!
Don’t you need to unwind the parking break tensioner to pull the rotor off?
No, in this case it is not necessary to unscrew the parking brake tensioner
You can risk damaging the brake hose when you leave the caliper hanging by the hose.
And as another user said: "grease"
The concept of the video is good though.

What type and size of bit does he use to loosen the caliper at 01:24 in the video
We used the number 7.
For example, this can be done on our website at article number 05123L SW-Stahl.

The same for C207?

Hi! Unfortunately, according to the description it is difficult to advise anything, we recommend contacting the service.

What are the torque ratings for each bolt?
Thank you for your feedback! Unfortunately, it is not possible to specify the exact torque rating, we recommend you look it up in the vehicle documents. Be sure to contact our Customer Support if any other assistance is required! Kind regards, Autodoc!
does the caliper just need to be compressed or does it need to rotate to compress?
Thank you for your feedback! Please clarify your comment or rephrase it so we could give you the answer you need. Kind regards, Autodoc!
@@autodocuk what I meant was... on some cars, the rear brake cylinder needs to be rotated with a tool in order to compress it into the caliper; does this vehicle use the same procedure?
@@ninjahirodude658 Looking at the tool he used it is just compressed, not turned.
The need to turn the piston on some calipers is to wind back the handbrake auto adjustment mechanism. The Merc has a drum brake operating in the bell of the disc. No windback necessary
Not that impressed really but as a sequence guide useful
Thank you for sharing your opinion!
I've used other means for compressing the piston before. I guess you'd void any warranty if you didn't use the special tool.
Thank you for the feedback! We hope that our tutorial was helpful for you. Stay tuned and follow our latest updates. Best regards, Autodoc.
Haha when i was young didnt know much i used a brick to compress the piston on a ford escort haha did the job though 🙈🙈🤣🤣
£7 on ebay, nothing special, just a caliper compression tool.
So now I've been at it 2 hrs trying to get the rotor from the grasp of those ferkin parking brake shoes. Top one's clear and the rotors at an angle and nearly there, but won't let go of the bottom one!! Any ideas anyone? Am I supposed to back of the shoes by adjusting them somehow? Grrrrrrr.......
