I need help replacing brake pad and rotor. PLEASE HELP

MarcusF

Which part is giving you trouble? Or are you looking for instructions?

I think there's a post in the "How To's" thread about this.

it's not in how to. I just need full instructions and pictures about how to replace rotor and brake pad

First, if you don't know how to do brakes, I recommend that you NOT use my posts or any information I supply as a guide. I recommend that you take the car to a qualified mechanic.

Having said that, this is an OVERVIEW of how I did my brakes. Please see a qualified mechanic for detailed instructions. These are the tools/parts I used:

• Floor Jack
• Jack Stands
• Full set of metric tools including a breaker bar, torque wrench, punch, hammer, pliers, and a caliper piston spreader (which is a screwdriver for some people).
• CRC Disk Brake Quiet
• Blue Loctite
• A Micrometer
• Factory pads
• Factory brake wear sensors

Before starting I but the disk brake quiet on all the pads. With CRC, the brakes won't squeal. Other brands *may* work, but CRC definitely will. Also, I use this as a time to change the brake fluid. Those who don't have been known to check the reservoir. They do this because they don't want it to overflow when they spread the caliper pistons.

ENSURE THAT THE BRAKES ARE WORKING (THE PEDAL DOESN'T GO TO THE FLOOR) BEFORE TAKING THE CAR OUT OF PARK.

I found when I did the brakes I also needed to repack front wheel bearings.

How can I tell how many pins are holding in my rear brake pads without taking a look. Im at work trying to order rear brake pads and wont be able to get to my car anytime soon to check.

2000 CLK 430

Thanks

even though this thread is 3 years old, I was under the impression there was no way to repack the wheel bearings. Isnt it a sealed hub?

On my 01 clk 320, there was either one pin in the front, or one in the rear, not both tho. thats the best i can do for you, sorry lol

just ordered Poreterfield RS4s andI believe the 98-99 rear pads have two pins.

Helped bigmike1979 do the rears and was literally 15min max ds from taking off the wheel to reinstalling the wheel after replacing with akebono pads. PS took even less time.

But the front was a b*$R, couldnt even get the 18mm bolts to budge at all. Didnt have the right allen wrench to fit under the cap to go that route either. So will try again later. Ran out of time.
