Great video! You did an amazing job of making so those of us that are ignorant in the mechanical world can understand and complete the task. I really hope you do more about Mercedes Benz SUV’s. I hope you find time to do some on 2013 and on. Also transmission fluid change would be great since the parts for this are expensive enough I would prefer to do it my self and save money on labor.
Welp, just did the passenger in about 35 mins, opposed to last night which took us almost 3 hours! Haha Good father, and son bonding time at least! Now in a Mercedes Benz brake changing pro, more or less...Ha Thanks again Brian!
Brian, this is such an awesome video! My dad, and I changed my front brakes, and rotors last night on my 2011 Mercedes GL450. We literally just followed your video, and you made it actually really easy to do. Sometimes things on Mercedes are a little more difficult, but your video made it easy to follow step by step. A couple things that made it a little tough to get through for us, was we didn't have an impact gun, or breaker bar for the 21mm bolts on the back, so those were pretty damn rough, but we got them off with a combination wrench, and some sledgehammer assistance. (not recommended) Haha Also the 9mm allen socket, or in our case allen wrench we used, which is pretty uncommon I had read, and also found out. Don't assume you have one, as my dad didn't have one out of 6 different allen sets, and a tray of about 30 random ones. Luckily his neighbor did however, so that worked. It definitely took us a little longer the first time just not having the right tools on a couple of those things, but overall, it was really very simple to follow, and not feel lost. Thanks for making this awesome video!
Heading back now in about 10 mins to do the passenger side since we got done at like 12:30 am, he wasn't ready to start on the second one that late. Haha if my brake sensor had been alerting about break wear, should I get a new one, or would the old one still work, do you know by chance?
Eduard Petrenko I do recommend them on the front brakes for sure. European cars you softer metals and they wear faster. So if you machine them about halfway through their life they will go out of spec and cause problems. The rear rotors tend to be made out of harder metal and they last a little longer and you can get away machining them. Hope this helps. Thank you for watching the videos and writing to me!

Well produced video! Clear and concise. Thanks!

Great video. Thank you for taking time to get into detail of things some people might miss.

Jared G 2 cool!! Love the father son time!
Thank you for the step by step video, Great Job!, Thank You!
Nice video , is it possible if you can give me the torque specs for the wheel, caliper bracket, and sliding caliper Allen bolts?

awesome video Brian.
do you always replace the rotors wth new ones? is grinding them not recommended for the Mercedes?
thanks.

Are there sensors on all 4 wheels?
