Hello,
I;m attempting to install new brake pads on the front of my car. can
someone please provide instructions on how to install? I see there are 8 bolts 4 on the front of the calipers and 4 on the back. do I have to remove all bolts to get to old pad off?
Thanks for the help

no bolts at all removed. knock out the pad retaing pins and remove the spring clip then simply push the pads out. new pads opposite for install
Thanks for the help.. how ever I did take the bolts out
..and lost most of my Brake fluid.. I would assume that I need to bleed the brakes too.. also on the drivers side I did not have a brake sensor. there is no wire to connect too.. Is this ok or should there be a sensor?

Some models only have the brake sensor on one side for the front and the other side for the rears...Originally Posted by DEJ1

Sounds like you removed the socket head cap screws on the outside of the calipher. You might need new seals if you broke the calipher open and definitely bleed the brakes.Originally Posted by DEJ1

OK when you say seals, are you referring to the black seals (small seals that go into the holes of the calipers?
Thanks for the help.. got my CLK 500 brakes done.. bled the brakes and they work great.. Next time I have a problem I;ll check with this forum before I attempt to do any work..
THANKS A BUNCH... ev1...

Is there a particular sequence to bleeding clk500 brakes? I need to do mine.
Same as all brakes - start with the furthest from the caliper and work your way closer. On a US spec car, that's right rear, left rear, right front then left front.
