GLA 45 Brake Job Instructions
13 Attachment(s)
I haven't found a good guide anywhere that describes how to do the brakes on the GLA45 so I decided to make one. This brake job is just like any brake job with two notable exceptions:
Notes:
Weird Tools:
Normal Tools:
Process: Access the Brake Service Menu to release the pressure in the rear calipers.
Removing the rear calipers & pads:
The pads are asymmetrical. Do not mix the inner and outer up. The inner pad that the piston touches has a semi circle protuding from it. Make sure the shims are clean and that there is no rust caked up underneath them which could cause the pads to bind up. Removing the front calipers, pads and rotors

Nice write up! |
Can I ask where you got your Brembo rotors and pagid pads? And how much you paid? Any insights into using ceramic pads for less dust?

Excellent write up, thank you! Saving this one for future use.

Thanks for a great write up.
I'm due for a break fluid flush on mine, does anyone know if I can just use a power bleeder to push the fluid out without having to open any valves via Star Diagnostics? That would be starting at Right-Rear, Left-rear, Right-Front and Left Front Caliper bleed nipples. |
Cheers, I was looking at purchasing some pads and I noticed a note on one of the websites which said that the pads for my 16 A45 or not for the "red calipers" .. Are there different size pads for the GLA45? I do have the red calipers... Was that an option compared to a smaller caliper for the A45?

Really appreciate the pics and writeup
May I ask,..... What the **** do you drive thru????? It looks like you've got carbonized grease packed into the rotor vents |
