I like your video. I didn’t know about putting brakes into service mode. Is this the same for the CL500? What is the purpose for this? I could see if you were changing the discs, then maybe the parking brake shoes would retract. Can you not just go ahead and change the pads?
Not sure about the CL500 unfortunately. The way that the parking brake works on the S is that it uses the disc brake pads themselves. There is no shoe system. So in order to get the caliper pistons to retract, you have to go through the process.
Hello, nice videos! From your expert opinion ,how would you bed in the pads and rotors? Easy, or do the get brakes hot thing 30 mph to 15 a few times then moderate hard from 60 mph to 15mph and drive normal to cool? Thanks
What you stated sounds right. That's roughly what I end up doing for all brake jobs. I honestly don't keep track of the number of times I do the cycles. A few lower speed braking and a few medium speed braking is what I do. I do take care to make sure that it's a steady brake pressure and that I am never coming to a complete stop. The intent is to get an even layer of brake material on the disc.
I am afraid I don't know for sure. I would assume that for the same model year, it would be the same for both rwd and awd. It would be best to check out some auto parts place like FCP Euro
The process retracts both the driver side and passenger side rear calipers. You don't have to do it per wheel. It does both rear wheels at the same time
If you have access to a diagnostic tool, it should be able to tell you what the issue is. By brake light, do you mean that a warning message has appeared in the driver's console?
Excellent! I only needed to know how to put the car in brake service mode. This is a great reference.
Thank you 👍🏻
thank you! this is the only video that actually showed me how to get to that screen.
This was very useful. I'm now sufficiently confident I can do this myself on my s550. Thank you!
It really help me thank you and God bless you
Detailed video. Thanks for sharing.
Nice video.with detailed procedure.👍
Thanks for sharing! Great Video!!

Yes you have to put it in service mode so you could push the caliber in so you can slide the new pads in

Did you need special tool to turn and press the rear caliper piston or just a regular caliper push tool? Thanks
I am so sorry for not noticing this. For the rear brakes, putting in service position retracts the calipers so nothing else is needed
@@rcsubho thank you
Thanks for this video
Is there a difference between s550 4matic and regular s550 break pads or both has the same break pads ?
I am afraid I don't know for sure. I would assume that for the same model year, it would be the same for both rwd and awd. It would be best to check out some auto parts place like FCP Euro
Do both front and rear positions change?
No. The front doesn't have to. Just the rear does because of the electronic parking brakes.
How did u retract the rear passenger caliper?
The process retracts both the driver side and passenger side rear calipers. You don't have to do it per wheel. It does both rear wheels at the same time
My Mercedes didn't contract fully on the rear bracks. I had to buy a master brake set to fully retract.
My brake light came on after i did this
