that is by far the best video i saw on youtube. Explanation 10/10 !! keep it man bro !

I just replaced them today with the same exact rotors and pads, 35K miles on a 2017 C300 with AMG package. Originally I wanted the Brembo brakes and I found them at a really good price, so ordered them from eEroparts. A few days later they canceled my order and told me they were out of stock even though they showed several available at their warehouse. So I don't know about that place! They have mixed reviews and other folks complain that their orders got screwed up, wrong parts were sent, canceled orders, etc. My factory rotors started vibrating right before 25K miles and got much worse recently. At highway speeds, the vibration and noise got so terrible that I had to do something about it. The dealership price was in the thousands so I bought these from Autohaus. They were shipped the next day and 3 days later I found them at my front door. Very easy replacement. The Freemax rotors are pretty solid and heavy. Hopefully, they would make a difference. I would post another update in a few days after I drive around for a bit.
Thanks for the great video!

I usually turn my wheel full right/left to get better leverage to loosen/tighten & torque brake caliper brackets.

Awesome video man. Quality of the filming/editing was superb. Will definitely be using this as a reference in the future.

Great vid we use coppergrease here on the edge of the pads and pins contact point between the piston and pads and a little on the wheelbolts, turn the stearing wheel rigth/left for better workspace.

4 piston calipers are waaay bigger than the standard brakes. This is awesome 👍

Thanks for this very detailed video. Used this to change the brake pads on my W206 C300.

Firstly, turn the steering on a left hand lock, you will have a lot more room.
Then, push the old pads back (against the pistons) before you remove them, easier to take them out, and no need to use a tool to push the pistons back later.
Calliper bolts are NOT made of aluminium, they are zinc plated steel bolts. You DON’T hit a three eighth ratchet with a hammer. Bodge.
Don’t use WD40 on rubber seals, it does them in. Calliper bolts do need ‘torquing’ and thread locked when replaced.
Don’t use lithium grease on brakes, sparingly apply anti seize (copper slip).
You don’t know what you’re doing.
BODGER.

Great job and video! I see why my mechanic wants around 600! Very informative! Thanks

If anyone is wondering, those back bolts are 80Nm, then a 45° turn.

I just changed my discs watching this video. Thanks Durbin.

Great video ! This video brings back memories. One weekend I was working in a garage with this other guy. There were two vehicles that needed front brakes to be done. A Ford Transit and a Mercedes like the one in your video. The other guy ran to the owner and begged for the Ford job. The fool said that the Ford was way too difficult for me to manage. Lol. Long story short I completed the job with no issues. Ford brakes are never as involved as Mercedes brakes !

To get the bolt loosened on the backside I used a Jack or a bottle jack works great because hammering upwards is very awkward with no power. Put the jack on the ratchet 👍

Good video, just one advice, before beginning with replacement works, open Brake Fluid cover. When you push calipper pistons back, it will generate pressure if brake system is closed. This why fluid should have possibility to go back.. (take inject for pumping up fluid) if running over.

Great good quality video show of these kind of brake pads replacement. Thank you

[Gino]

Great video thank you very much, I currently have a 2019 Mercedes-Benz E300 where can I buy the brake calibers that is shown in your video my current my car does not have the Mercedes-Benz calibers like those..Maybe you could send me a link on where I can buy those particular calibers

[normcarguy]

Very good video you covered all the points thanks great job

[HKashaf]

What steps should you take avoid brake shuddering afterwards

[charlybb]

Do you need to do the computer break replacement setting?

[thescottsbeachcircus]

I have. A question how does some one know if you have a sports package ?! I have a Mercedes c300 2019, with amg night package, I just don’t know where I need sports brake or regular ?

[spicesniffer]

@TheDurbinCompound : i did exactly like in the video, step by step, everything went smooth ( replaced sport front brake pads) but my pads are not biting the full size of the rotor. Did i do something wrong? Or its a bad rotor?
