I would love to see more repair and maintenance videos of this generation of S-Class. Awesome channel!
P.s. Have you tried using a ratcheting wrench in such tight spots before?

[@CarsYouCanFix]

Thank you! I do have a video for the front brakes in the future line up! For breaking the bolt loose you may need to double up wrenches if using a ratcheting wrench to get the leverage. I like using ratcheting wrenches after I break the bolt loose and it doesn't easily come out by hand. But in general ratcheting wrenches work great in tight spots, especially a high tooth count wrench!

Thank you!

Do have the torque spec for rear wheel hub bearing please

[@CarsYouCanFix]

Try benzworld or mbworld forums, may find what you need there.

What brand was the first pads?

[@CarsYouCanFix]

I installed the Ferodo Brand pads. The ones that got replaced were the Duralast Gold semi metallic. I find the DG semi metallic pads get noisy so I went with an option from FCP Euro, I trust their judgment for quality Euro parts.

Good job where are you from bro

[@CarsYouCanFix]

Thanks! I'm out in CA

[@peterpanek1857]

You left a Painted rotor on and didn't clean the surface come on friend !!!!!!!

[@CarsYouCanFix]

Thanks for your comment! The coating on the OEM Mercedes rotors doesn't need to be removed prior to operation. Maybe a Mercedes tech can chime in on what they do at their dealership.

[@daveerrington5166]

I second this,it does not need to be removed

[@Chooseyouruniquehandlebyaddin]

That is not paint, its a zinc coating that will wear off in 10 miles.

[@thailor]
