Looks like this but MB makes it. I found this in ebay under Mercedes brake piston tool

Thank. This video he used one like this. The tool turns and winds the piston while compressing:

Sorry but I wouldn’t twist that piston like that, especially if Mercedes’ Tool just pushes it. I’m sure it’s ok, but no way I would do that.

good point

Currently owned 2016 GLE 350 needed rear brakes to be replaced at 35,000 miles which is about 25-35K miles sooner than 20 previously-owned vehicles. While there's no active lane centering assist optioned, I do use the brake HOLD feature at traffic lights. Was told that the drag and resulting friction when accelerating on the rear pads causes them to wear prematurely. The solution to avoid the issue is to step hard on the pedal again which releases the HOLD feature prior to accelerating.

My notes for the ML63 '12 should be similar if not the same.... torq specs, parts, e-brake procedure.... no special tools needed..... special mb tool ? use a big C clamp or I used the hydraulic ones...

Like this... work great....

Use 13 mm socket remove retaining bolt


push out pins with a punch


Pads should pull out easily... If not.. I used a flat blade screwdriver to gently push them into the caliper.


The rear pads require putting the car into pad service mode as described here:

1. Turn the ignition to Position 1.

2. Make sure the mileage is displayed in the dash center window

3. Don't wait very long before accomplishing the next step: Push the far right "telephone accept call" button on the steering wheel, then push the "OK" button on the left and hold both down for 5 seconds or so.

4. The workshop menu should appear.

5. Scroll down to "Pad replacement" and push OK.

6. Choose OK for "Moving to fitting position"

This will move the cylinder in the caliper far enough back to replace the pads...

WTF I'm I doing wrong. When trying to release the rear E-Brakes I get this message. I got the rear on jack stands and the wheels removed. I wonder if the car has to level first?

Nanook

Make sure parking brake is released

E55 KEV

Thanks Bro! That worked. I had followed the directions from the video posted above and don't recall the guy saying to release the brake then do the "fitting" procedure. Video said put key in Position 1 but to disconnect the E=Brake you have to put key in Position 2. S_hit I'm worn out now LOL. I took the wheels off and put them back on. I'll try again tomorrow or Sunday..

Nanook

I did the same thing originally but figured it out right away..

Beast

sorry to bump this, but my GLE just got the brake light msg @ 15,000 KM! HOLY MOLY! I do drive it like a racecar though but that is just ridiculous.

Nanook

Front or rear ?...It's not a tough or costly job..regardless of front or rear..I just did the pads...got them from Rock Auto

E55 KEV

What brand did you get front and rear? Thanks.

Nanook

Only needed rear...Bendix CFC 1630...no issues..quiet

Dealer wanted $433.85 CDN just for the rear pads...Textar

Gman123

Same here, I couldn't believe it and now I'm working on changing it by myself to save some money.

Charcharius

I baby my 63S and at 30,000 km I’m at 45% front remaining. Geez, I thought I had it rough.

Gman123

The rear brake pads usually wear down first suprisedly on gle63s.

Here is what they look like with 7 miles on them. Front and rear
