    Good video with 3 points to mention: 1) slider pins - never use lube at all / cleaning is fine 2) pushing back the pistons simply use the old brake pad with your tool centerline 3) after installing left side simply push brake a few times to get first break aligned, then do other side - hence no need to touch brake fluid at all ..

    One tip for compressing the pistons is to put back the old brake pad and push them in simultaneously instead of doing them one by one

    Excellent tutorial! Thank you for such a detailed overview. Can you please show how to change engine air filter on 2012 W166 ML350? I just can’t seem to find a single video that’s clear and concise. There are cabin and predust air filters though but an engine air filter for a 2012 ML350 is desperately needed!

    One piston will not come out as you compress the other one because you aren't pushing on the brake pedal to force out the pistons. Also, you should use an old pad on top of the pistons while you use your your tool or c-clamp to push the piston back in, instead of your tool's face turning and grinding on the pistons.

    Its always advisable to clean the sticking out portion of the pistons before pushing them back in.... (and possibly the whole car 😉)

      Or you can disengage the parking brake motor for the rear brakes from the service menu in the car.

    Replacing only the pads on cross drilled rotors is not recommended. You are going to have premature wear also uneven contact. It is ok only on non cross drilled one.

    • @oliveros426
      @oliveros426 3 года назад +1

      That’s such bs. Not even Mercedes’ technical manual recommend changing the brake pads AND rotors at the same time unless there is enough wear, cracks along the drilled holes (it specifies a depth and length of cracks that would be of concern), or other visible defects like warping. The unevenness of the wear will only be temporary.
