Mercedes W211 Front Disc Brake Pad Replacement With Ceramic Pads E350 E500
!*!*!*!* NOTE!*!*!*!*: BEFORE STARTING THIS PROCEDURE, CLOSE AND LOCK ALL DOORS, *OR* UNPLUG THE SBC BRAKE MODULE UNDER THE HOOD TO PREVENT THE BRAKES FROM PERFORMING A SELF TEST DURING THE REPAIR. (IE: CRUSHED FINGERS, BLOWN OUT BRAKE PISTON)
Sorry folks, not my best video, windy and I made a mistake on the info. The pad with the sensor goes on the inside of the caliper.
Also I answer the question "Does the SBC activate activate the brake calipers when you open the doors?" Answer:......You'll have to watch the video to find out.
Once you are finished, start your engine and SLOWLY press the brake pedal half way and release. Do this several time until you have a normal brake feel. If you get a warning light, turn off the engine, restart and press the pedal again, then turn off the engine and start again.
THIS IS A VERY EASY JOB TO DO.
MY CAR IS A 2005 E500 W211. I DON'T KNOW IF THE BRAKES ARE ANY DIFFERENT ON OTHER MODEL YEARS OR ON THE E320 OR E350. BE SURE TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK.
I USED THE POWERSTOP EVOLUTION PADS FROM ROCK AUTO. IT'S BEEN ABOUT 6 MONTHS SINCE I MADE THIS VIDEO AND I HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH THEM SO FAR. NO CHANGE IN PERFORMANCE, BUT MY WHEELS STAY 100% CLEANER!
