Thanks for the sub! and for watching and if you like boating this is my other channel ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SBn2qwoUMk4.html 👍👍⚓
Thank you for your videos, very helpful, informative & really well filmed. I'm learning alot from your content, it's much appreciated. New sub from the UK 🇬🇧
I have always been told to open the caliper bleed valve when retracting caliper pistons to prevent back flushing contaminated brake fluid into the master cylinder. Great video presentation.
Hi Sir ! Can you please send me the link of the pads and disc brake ? Or anyone else please who knows any good quality disc brake and pads for 2017 2500 Mercedes Sprinter 3.0 L ?
Great video! Please put a jackstand under that vehicle after you jack it up. I was nervous the whole time I watched with the van just supported by the jack. You do a great job in your videos.
I can remember years ago as an apprentice the head mechanic barking at me if I was trying to do a quick job using the floor trolley jack without using jack stands. @Mercedes Sprinter DIY, it would awful to see you get injured making great content.
Couldn't agree more - got my Crafter camper in bits doing the front brakes. That jack is really extended and wobbly to reach the jacking point. I went to my local timber yard and cut up some garden sleepers for blocks as a cheaper alternative to expensive axle stands. Good stuff but stay safe! You really don't want several tonnes of van sitting on you.
I paid the dealer $1200 USD for front axel only... and this was all they did? ROBBERY. Thank you for your video. I have ordered the kit and hope you get the affiliate link. Is there anything needed for the warning system internally in the van? When my front brakes went out on a road trip, we had a very limited time to drive the van before it would limit us down to 5 mph. If you have changed the oil, it would be something like the reset of the counter... Either way, great video and very cool of you to do this for us.
Thank you fpr watching and yes thanks fpr using the link because my channel makes a commission and it really helps making this video ,hope your back breaks installation goes easily, $ 1200 is robbery 😟
What you saw in my video? That's exactly what is required to change and it works. Perfect, I already ran it for over 30000 miles And this breaks work perfect
You should provide torque specs for each type if bolt. Go watch FCP Euro videos they tell you the exact sockets sizes and torque specs. You leave a lot of out of these videos. You can do better.
@mercedessprinterdiy8556 Thanks for all the videos! I changed my fuel filter last week after watching. I went to the link for this brake kit, but noticed there are a few bad reviews. Have your brakes been performing as expected? Any issues? Would you still recommend this kit? I generally like to purchase OEM.
hello and im glad my videos has help buddy , and as far as the brakes go im 100% loving how they work, and thanks if you use my link to purchased any items in amazon it really helps my channel to keep making videos like this, if you have any questions just ask, again thank you 👍
I would like you to help me with something, I have a 2012 Mercedes Sprinter, and I need to change the rear discs, what brand do you recommend and are they an exact measurement? Thank you
My advice is check the link in the description below and look at the ones that I purchase and see if they are the same size if they don't call that company and they should be able to give you the recommendation for your model and year👍
Hey I want to thank you for making your channel it's helped me out a lot hope you're doing okay stay good keep the videos coming if you got them. 📡👽🇺🇸 RUN!!!
I am glad Charles that it Has helped you that really makes me happy, And I will post a lot of videos on this channel but I have my other channel I don't know if you have seen it it's about the ocean and exploration here's the channel captain hope you can see it ,is Called Out On The Reef
I would recommend bedding the new pads/discs in with some harsh braking for a few miles spesh before you drag anything big and heavy then just open the bleed nipples slightly 1 at a time to release any small air bubbles. You won't need to pump the pedal as brake systems usually are under a small pressure (around 5psi I think) to take up any lag. Old UK pre MOT trick from before vacuum assisted braking systems. You'd be surprised how small bubbles can make for a spongy pedal. It turns a good brake pedal into a brilliant brake pedal. Don't forget to check your brake fluid every time you work on your brakes. By keeping an eye on the level you can tell if you have issues.
First mistake you did is leaving the vehicle raised on the jack only! those bottle jacks will slip easily and the van will land on your head! Raise the van at the dedicated jack points and always use jack stands that are rated for the correct weight. Also the reservoir should not overflow once you replace pads unless you added more fluid before. it's a good practice to flush the brake fluid atleast once a year to have fresh and clean fluid free from moisture that builds up in the fluid because of it content
I add some 4 x 4 and 2 x 6 wood blocks like building a brick wall. 3 each per layer and put it under another suitable location and leave a bit of gap incase the jack collapses.
I got it From Amazon and I placed the link in the Description below of everything I use including the brakes and rotors but there's kit on the description below captain
Hi Capt. OOTR.... you are amazing; is there ANYTHING that you don't know how to fix!??? ☺ Before seeing your video I would not have attempted doing a brake-job, but after seeing your great tutorial, even I would give it a try! Thank you!
@@mercedessprinterdiy8556 Hey Capt... No!... there is no way I would have tried it without watching your video... Your videos are amazing, detailed, and show step-by-step instructions... Thank you once more!
@@andrewfyakim525 Thank you Andrew that really motivates me keep making new videos really appreciate your awesome support captain have an awesome night and hugs from Florida
Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car to help you better driving and camping at night? We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!
Sorry to hear that captain did you buy it new or use because in my case I bought it brand new and for years have no problems and in the past I had all the vehicles that they were the worst vehicles I've ever driven the sprinter is one of the best van that have tried in the market. But maybe you bought yours use with a lot of miles is that your case?
