Any differences between doing rear/front brakes on 2012 vs earlier 164?
Hi All, Is there any difference in doing the 2012 gl450 rear and front brakes vs the earlier model years? I read something about releasing a electronic rear emergency brake thingy but that is all so far. Also any references appreciated. Thanks!

I replaced the rears on our 2012 GL350 and followed no special procedure. No issues, went as a normal brake job.

Pretty straight forward. No need for electronic intervention

What brake pads and rotors did you get for your vehicle. I have a 2012 GL350 and I want to replace the rears brakes.
thanks

Or try r1 concepts for the same look.
