My friend installed the spring clips incorrectly which was causing my brakes to make a loud ass squealing noise. Didn't figure it out until today & you showed me how they should be properly installed so thank you for that 💪.
Glad I came across your CLS videos I purchased one about 3 months ago 97,000 miles. I feel confident now with changing the brakes myself for the first time.
Not lying, he just doesn't know how to explain things. This model Mercedes uses the SBC brake system. The official repair information does call to "turn off" the system to prevent any feedback when servicing the system. However, as long as you do not wake up the car, or if you disconnect the battery, you can service them without any need of the scanner.
There are not that many CLS550's available. Don't over pay. MB did not import all that many of these cars to the USA. There is a DOT recall on: 1. gas tank 2. Air Bag 3. Sun Roof Gasket MB will fix these recalls for free. The front door window regulators are also problematic. Replace them as soon as they start to make noise. They fail faster in hot climates. $1200 at the MB dealership. Other than that, these are solid cars.
Eric Evolving car runs great. Only has 68k miles on it. There is a recall on the gas tank and air bag. My local dealer did both for free. The front window regulators on the CLS have problems. It’s in the design. Change them when they start to make noise. Most effected by hot weather. Had both front regulators changed by my local dealer. I did not have the time to do it. Cost $1200.

Great video! I just did this on my cls500 and now I have a terrible grinding noise without touching the brakes. Could I have not pushed the caliper pistons in far enough? I'm going to try and redo them tomorrow and compress the calipers more. It feels like the pads are scraping the rotor. Please help!
Blake Carlisle That is very unusual. It may be that the dust cover got bent and it is rubbing on the rotor. It happens sometimes because it is just thin metal.

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
I went to partgeeks.com to try to order an axle pack by centric parts but was unable to locate the pack. Do you have a part number or can you tell me where on the sight you found the pack? Thanks.
Dunno why this was in my recommendations, but wanted to say good job, however you put chinaman garbage parts on this fine machine. Centric parts is pure doodoo from Chiner. Next time seek out Zimmerman rotors, and Textar brake pads. It's what these vehicles bring from the factory. The pads also have a unique position in the caliper. They have an arrow that should face in the direction of forward rotation. Otherwise, good job.
He did an excellent demonstration of changing the brakes as well good advice about the little things to make your job easy in the future.
Love that you were bare footed doing the brake job! You're my kind of peeps
Rare to see clean professional work like that.
Thanks for sharing.

Big Ticket
Thanks bro. Let me know if you have any questions
Great video thanks for taking the time to make it…you have saved me lots of time, money and the headache
Thanks.
Great Video and great job explaining everything
Thank you
Scotty Kilmer has a video where he’s telling people you need a computer to replace pads on that same car. I said in the comments that he was lying.

You do not need a computer of any kind.

Hi thanks a million for your information, can you please tell me the name of company that sells the brakes.
I have a question for you, don't u have to disconnect the sbc connector first?
Good work. Is the oil change the same for a cls55 amg? Can you a DIY on that?
J AIR 23AMG
Yes. It’s the same
Great video thanks for the help
good video thanks. First time doing brakes on a MB, doesn't look too bad. Unusual design on the pins for the caliper.
So is changing the sensor and rotary mandatory? Or is it best to go ahead and change? *First timer
Perfect job
I’m trying to get like this car
Do you recommend me with this one
Thanks

This was excellent demonstration. Do you do videos on other Mercedes, such as CLS 550 4-matic?
thank you. still relevant.
Great video 👍 just one thing it's always better to push the cylinders back in with the old disks still in 👍
Thanks for sharing, getting one of these and trying to learn as much about them as possible. How is it running?

Check out my 2008 CLS 550 rear brake video and my 2011 GL450 front brake video

Jose Gaitan
No need to bleed unless you are changing out the brake fluid; which you should do every 3 or 4 years
This is excellent. Thank you!
NICE JOB!!!
PARDS2
Thanks man.
Are there sensors on all four or just one side per rear and front
Duke
Sensors are only on the passenger side. Front and back
I went to partgeeks.com to try to order an axle pack by centric parts but was unable to locate the pack. Do you have a part number or can you tell me where on the sight you found the pack? Thanks.
John Salla
John,
The parts are under brakes; rotor and pad set.
They are there.
Nice
Thank you
i have a glk that uses the same brakes
Never ever put grease on the back of your pads. The shim is what keep the pads from squealing.
blackericdenice
You are wrong.
Dunno why this was in my recommendations, but wanted to say good job, however you put chinaman garbage parts on this fine machine. Centric parts is pure doodoo from Chiner.
Next time seek out Zimmerman rotors, and Textar brake pads. It's what these vehicles bring from the factory. The pads also have a unique position in the caliper. They have an arrow that should face in the direction of forward rotation. Otherwise, good job.
Where's the arrow located?
