For those wondering. The tool used just pushes the piston in straight. There are many different tools that do the same job. It's good to use an old pad in between the tool and the caliper piston.

Thank you for the feedback! This video is considered to be an informative one, and it shows the sequence of repairs, so some stages of the repairs might have been excluded. Best regards, Autodoc.
Never mind cleaning the rotors before installing. This might be a sequence of repair, but ALL steps should be included. New people who have no clue what they are doing come to UA-cam to learn out to do stuff like this. Leaving out steps is irresponsible at best.
My personal choice is to clean the surrounding areas of the disc as well as the caliper and bracket, C class are well known for brake dust build up. Great video and very helpful nonetheless

i only looked up this video to see if it needed a special type of tool to push the caliper piston back in. dude didnt use brake grease on the slider pins or pads... cant wait till it binds up and wears un evenly

Nice vid but why no disc wipe down, no torque setting and no mention wether the special tool was a wind back tool or if we can just use a straight push tool. Thxs for the vid for a basic over view.
Thank you for your feedback! Indeed, those are very important things to do while replacing the part. In our upcoming videos, we will try to include all of the necessary procudeures and information. Best Regards, Autodoc Team
Thank you for your feedback! In whole the process of replacement is similar, but there can be differences in design. Therefore, you need all the specific tools to successfully replace and mount the car parts. Best regards, Autodoc.
Thank you for your feedback! Unfortunately, there was a mistake in this video, we understand it and we know that it is only torque wrench that may be used. Best regards, Autodoc.
My only comment is all straight forward up until removal of the 18mm caliper bolts. Mine have been done up by a gorilla. I tried impact wrench, releasing oil, breaker bar and everything I can do to move it and nothing all I have done is broke myself. I haven't tried any heat yet but was hoping tit would move. Anyone else found these really challenging?
very good video! but i had a question about this special tool you use for the brake caliper piston, is it nessecary to have one since i don't have this tool, and what exactly does it do thanks a lot!
You can use just about anything to compress the piston. People use C-clamps, big channel locks opening, I've even used the old brake pads and put a pry bar between them.
Thank you for the feedback! For a qualitative and convenient replacement of the brake system parts, it is necessary to use this special tool.The special tool can be found in the shops of special tools. In case you don't have it, we strongly recommend you to visit a specialized car service center. Best regards, Autodoc.
Thank you for your interest in our videos! The replacement procedure will be almost identical on E classe W212, still it may differ slightly due to some distinctions in vehicle designs. Kindly regards, Autodoc!

Instead of showing a special brake tool that not many DIY's will have, maybe you should've shown how you can use the two old pads, the tyre iron and a screwdriver to lever the piston back.
It all depends on the configuration of your car, you can find a detailed replacement manual in the service book of your car. If the required tool is not available, we recommend that you contact a specialized service.
Hub not cleaned, no anti-seize between it and the rotor, sliders not lubed, brackets not torqued neither were the wheels, no anti seize or brake Lube on the pad to caliper surfaces. Just like most mechanics would do, a half-ass job. Then I see people commenting and thanking you. This is the problem with UA-cam. People think they're getting good instructions but are not getting complete info. No offense meant.

Do they ever work on the left (drivers US) side? No videos ever demonstrating the other side.
Thanks for another great video. Is there any guidance on what torque setting the different screws should be tightened at? Thank you.

si180komp this one calls for one oogadooga of torque. One n half oogadoogas might be overkill
I used new retaining clips for my pads that came with the Mercedes pads in the kit. Otherwise, nice job.

I just use a g clamp to wind the piston back in using the old disc pad to push against the piston.

My question is what part needs copper grease on as I've done this before but it caused a lot of squeaking? Is it the back of the pads 🤔
More precisely, what and where it is recommended to use a lubricant, you need to look in the repair instructions for your car directly.

What year is this?
My only comment would be, why didn't he test that the wheel still spun freely before letting the car down. Otherwise very good video.

Hub not cleaned, no anti-seize between it and the rotor, sliders not lubed, brackets not torqued neither were the wheels, no anti seize or brake Lube on the pad to caliper surfaces.

What happens if you don’t put lube on the brake pad ends? Or anti seize?
