I used a 17 mm socket to removed the wheel bolts and an 18 mm socket to remove the caliper bolts at the back on my 2010 E500 Sedan 4matic. I used a coat hanger to hang the caliper and a 6 inches C Clamp to pull the caliper pistons to their inside base position before installing the caliper or pads. I used T20 Torx Drive Bit Socket to remove the little screw holding the Rotor (Disc). After installed the pads, you can install the first first lower holding pin, then the clip, then the upper pin. Video was good and explanation was well done.
Hello, did you have to do anything with the air leveling or anti-theft system before jacking up the car? I have an 08 S550 and it needs front and rear brakes.
There is a nice front jacking point on this car - basically a pad that Mercedes installs from factory on one of the front crossmembers. You should be able to see it when looking under the car from the front, it's dead center. Thanks for watching!
Hi there! Are these pads (Akebono EUR1223 Front Brake Pad) compatible with my 2013 S550 4MATIC with the AMG Sport Pkg? I'm getting mixed results after searching for an hour! Thanks if you know the answer definitively!
I believe so, it does depend on whether sport or sport+1 package though. Check your options list and/or window sticker if you have it. You can also check your rotor PN and cross reference to the one I showed in the video...if the same, you will know the pads will work. There were 3 different rotor sizes on the V8 221s. Gotta love Mercedes! Thanks for watching!
Hey do you have to buy the same pads or rotors when changing them or can they be from different brands see I bought the Zimmerman kit just like that but I only need the pads when I actually check them so if I order new pads can it be from a different brand?
If you're sure that the parts that you used are high quality, the first thing I'd suspect is not enough lube on the back side of the pads between those and the pistons. I have no squeaks with my setup whatsoever. Thanks for watching!
@@redonKiLaus i got oem pad and rotor from mercedes dealler i did take both of the front rotor and pad of clean it and grease but still making that same squeaking noise when i stop complelly do i need to put grease on the back of the pad between the piston and pad
@@JohnLetra You should definitely have some of the brake pad grease on the back of the pad between it and the pistons. Without that, you'll certainly have a squeak or squeal issue.
@@redonKiLaus i just remove all 4 wheel and took off all the pad and rotor clean it and grease on the back of the pad and all the sliding pin but it still making squeaking sound when i go around at 1-5 mph then stop
@@JohnLetra Interesting, that's not normal but it sounds like you've done everything correctly. Perhaps you need to bed in the pads...otherwise there's potential that you have debris in them or caught in one of the vent holes in the rotor, but without seeing/hearing in person there's not much diagnosis to be done over the internet.
I want to say it's something like 110ft-lb, but I'm not sure since it's been quite a while since I did this job. It's tough to fit a torque wrench in there though, so may not be something you can accomplish with tools at home and no lift just due to the geometry (and that's when I torque very well using a wrench, with some low-strength Loctite for good measure). Thanks for watching!
Bro why do you keep doing everything “off” camera.. kind of defeats the purpose of a DIY tutorial, I’m sure ppl want to see you work not say the work and cut the video 😢
The rotor is held concentric to the hub via the hub bore and wheel bolt holes are aligned between rotor and hub not only via bolts, but via the brake rotor retaining screw. Under no circumstances will a properly installed rotor, on a greased hub, cause balance issues, unless the rotor is inherently poorly balanced. Thanks for watching!
@@redonKiLaus Hi, please watch this video. Unfortunately, it is not in a language you can understand, but I think you can understand what they are doing anyway. ruclips.net/video/C7OHEgKT_AY/видео.html Also, I do not know a manufacturer that prescribes the placement of such a paste under the discs. As before, I have not seen such a description in any set of discs. Unlike pads, which describe where and what paste is used. For example ATE Pasitube or ATE Bremszylinder-Paste
@@СтаниславСтоянов-т5ф I understand what they are showing, from what I see in that video they warn of the potential to drastically increase runout due to excess paste/lube on the backside of the rotor. While this can happen if overapplied, or if there are debris between rotor and hub, if putting a thin coating of grease or anti-seize on there should be no issue with runout. It's common practice in the US to put anti-seize between hubs and rotors - I don't like to use that since it's messy, and many mechanics slather it on (improper), but grease shouldn't hurt anything and just serves to prevent seizing of rotor onto hub.
Most likely does not original Mercedes rotors will fail the quality is not the same as Mercedes. 👎👎👎. You can probably get away with the non-factory pads.

Nothing should be needed, no jacking mode on the 221. Left the car unlocked is all (as I do when I work on my cars). Thanks for watching!
perhaps a link to a good nm torque wrench as I can't really find one in that spec range.
What type of pads did you use that helped reduce the brake dust
Akebono Euro Ceramic. Thanks for watching!
I'm going to attempt this soon...what did you use for a jack point in the front, before placing it on jack stands?
There is a nice front jacking point on this car - basically a pad that Mercedes installs from factory on one of the front crossmembers. You should be able to see it when looking under the car from the front, it's dead center. Thanks for watching!
Thank you. God willing it goes smoothly for me!

Hi there.fid you already check is it compatible with AMG package or not?
thanks in advance
Hey do you have to buy the same pads or rotors when changing them or can they be from different brands see I bought the Zimmerman kit just like that but I only need the pads when I actually check them so if I order new pads can it be from a different brand?
You can mix and match
Do you no we’re to get T 30 torque ?
good job brother
Thanks for watching!
Hi, can it fit 17 inch wheel?
I don't believe so, all 221s came with 18, 19, or 20 inch wheels to my knowledge and all sport package ones were 19 or 20. Thanks for watching!
I replace front and rear rotor and brake pad after a week is speaking do i know what wrong?

Thank you for this video. What's the tightening torque for the two 21mm calliper bolts ?

@@redonKiLaus Thanks for the answer :)
Thank you men i am french people 👍👍what tool do you use ??
What year is this W221?
This one is a 2012 S550. Thanks for watching!
Bro why do you keep doing everything “off” camera.. kind of defeats the purpose of a DIY tutorial, I’m sure ppl want to see you work not say the work and cut the video 😢
Never ever grease the hub!
This will cause dis balance the rotor from the hub.
The rotor is held concentric to the hub via the hub bore and wheel bolt holes are aligned between rotor and hub not only via bolts, but via the brake rotor retaining screw. Under no circumstances will a properly installed rotor, on a greased hub, cause balance issues, unless the rotor is inherently poorly balanced. Thanks for watching!

shit ... sorry toile je uplane o nicem!!
To much talk
..to less wideo...how to do...😢
Thanks for watching!
Ur lighting is horrible can’t really see what you’re doing

These Zimmerman rotors are great - same quality as OEM in my experience and last just as long. Thanks for watching!
