Glad it helped!

It does not make any difference when you do it. Do you like hiking?

Happy to help!

Cool, thanks

Thank you very much!

You’re welcome 😊

Thank you!

You can reuse old one if new didn't come with pads

Each rotor manufacturer state the minimum thickness, so depends on the rotor that you have in your vehicle. Some helpful info from MB site: Signs that Your Brake Rotors Need to Be Replaced Replacing brake pads is a pretty straightforward car repair, and everyone knows they need to be replaced periodically. But what about brake rotors? They’re a more serious repair but no less important to replace when needed. In total, there are four brake rotors - one for each wheel. Rotors may need to be replaced anywhere from 15,000 to 70,000 miles. Here are some signs your Mercedes is ready for new brake rotors. Shaking When You Brake If the car shakes every time you brake, it could be a sign of failing rotors. This may be caused by rotors that are twisted or warped. It could mean the brake pads are having a problem meeting the rotors, which is why they’re causing problems. Any unusual vibrating while braking should be looked at. Noisy Brakes Though sounds don’t always accompany bad rotors, a squealing or squeaking sound could be a sign of a bad rotor. Squealing accompanies a warped rotor, while worn-out rotors are more likely to produce a scraping sound. The problem is that sometimes it’s brake pads, which need to be replaced, that produce these sounds and not necessarily a rotor. For that reason, you might want to inspect the rotors. Grooves and Score Marks on the Rotors If you suspect your rotors might need to be replaced, then take a look. Rotors sit right behind your wheels; they’re a disc-like object that spins around as you drive. If you can’t get a good look, rotate the steering wheel to the right or left to get a better angle. Because the brake pads are pressed against the rotors to slow down your car, it is not surprising to learn that rotors are going to wear out over time. That’s just how it is. As you inspect your rotors, look for grooves and scoring the brake pads caused. A good rotor will look very smooth and unmarked. If you see grooves or scoring, or both, on the rotors, the fact of the matter is they will likely need to be replaced. If not now, then soon. Rotor Is Too Thin If you are unsure whether the rotors have worn enough to need replacing, measure their thickness. This is done with a micrometer across the center of the rotor. If the thickness is above the minimum thickness according to the manufacturer, then they can be skimmed to smooth out any problem areas. However, if the rotors are thinner than the minimum, you will want to replace them. Though replacing the rotors can be an expensive repair, it is an essential part in the safety and care of your Mercedes and worth the investment. If you want to keep your rotors healthy, make sure you don’t ride your brake and use greater distance when you need to come to a stop. If there’s a red light up ahead, take your foot off the gas pedal and coast for a while, only applying the brake as you get closer to the car in front of you.

To remove - undo two bolts on inside side as usual. Yea, check the guide pins for sure, or might be problem with sticky caliper - then it is better to replace the whole unit

Thanks, no video for compressor yet, sorry

By any chance, would you happen to know if I need antifreeze when replacing an AC compressor on a Mercedes-Benz 2016 AMG C450

It is in video, you need to return them to working position

I'm not 100% sure, it depends on year, etc. - but in general the process, etc is the same

What a pin and a hammer 😂😂

@@ikhan9478 NO, the piston separator…🤦🏻

@@DiogoP you can do it with pretty basic clamps 2, yes i've done it before.

@@jlea7979 so do you need to take the whole caliper off or can you do it with the c clamps an caliper on

​@@markm8272 I know I took off the caliper just cuz I did my rotors, I want to say if your just doing your front pads you might be able to get away with only taking taking out the top caliper bolts. (really easy but slightly more time consuming for sure)

Not sure about exact size, i just go on parts site and punch my vehicle to make sure I get what fits... check fcpeuro.com or rockauto.com

If you don't need to change rear - you don't have to. Car will adjust

Yeap, pretty straight forward. I like that they kept it simple.

bro what the hell? you calling this easy? this is so unnecessarily complicated compared to my vw golf, no going to the display with steering wheel, no special tool, like what the actual f is this kind of procedure this is outrageous... what Audi r u talking about? I wanna see how it's brakes are done

@@46Bax oh, I 100% agree that there are easier than this. I now have a MK7 GTI and just changed the brakes. It was a very "standard" process. Compared to a normal brake job, it's unnecessary work, but there are definitely worse. To change my brakes for my B8 A4 avant, I needed to buy a $500 VAGCOM cable to open the automatic parking brake. Such nonsense.

@@xSLWRTHNUx oh nice you got a vw golf too, they're so far the easiest cars to work on in my mind except they do take the piss with using different sizes torx and hex and qzn for almost every other bolt

@@46Bax Ya, they are definitely easy to work on. However, I used to be a mechanic for Honda back in the early 2000's. Now those were easy cars to work on! Every bolt was either 10mm, 14mm, or 17mm. The term "specialty tools" was not in my vocabulary. Those were the good ol' days.

When you are replacing pad - no, you don't need. It's only when you are changing brake fluid - you need to make sure you don't have air in brake lines

Process is the same, brakes make look different

One for the front and one for the back

It's Brake Caliper Spreader tool, I bought this one amzn.to/2YBGYWb

@@NewRoad aight, thank you! 🙏

Nice, beats paying $700+ @ the stealership

yep

so you do not need to put in fitting position if your doing front pads

As a tech i was looking for this comment lol

Yep

Not true for model

1 in front and 1 at rear

The are plastic jack points in front of rear wheels and behind front wheels. You can lift by pushing controls arms or mid between wheels

Most of my parts I buy frrom rockauto.com. You will have severs options there, including good aftermarket parts.

@@NewRoad thank you so much :)

go with an aftermarket oem brand preferably Brembo, Trw etc, the mercedes branded pads are identical

@@tippy35075 thank you for the recommendations, when you say identical brakes pads are you talking about oem and brembo pads are the same for the e class ?

@@danilmilano4973 Mercedes uses different brake companies to design their brakes and pads, so with my E400 I have trw pads in the back from Mercedes and different brand in the front but the only difference is the little Mercedes logo that’s printed on the back

The process should be the same

Yes, should be the same

😂

Lol, just a bit of confidence and few tools and you can do it! 😎

The dealer wants to charge my sister $800

@@ivan2jzbunny you should find a euro shop thatll do it for cheaper

In that case you are correct

@@NewRoad Thanks for your videos. They're outstanding!

@@collings23able Thank you!

Awesome!

😂, it's actually was really easy on mine

@@NewRoad the other side turned out to be easy. I think whoever did the brakes previously burred up the pin and just hammered it in

@@paulpower3766 Oh great, glad to hear you didn't have to fight it 👍

@@NewRoad think I had scared it with the aggression in the other side 🤣

It does not matter

works absolutely fine after 11 months, if it is not damaged - I don't think we need to
