Brake Fluid Change
Thinking about trying this myself on the wife's 2013 GLK 350 4-matic. Any DIY help on this? I found the brake fluid pump on Amazon, that seems pretty simple. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

not that hard. very standard procedure.
You will need the basics: 11mm flare spanner (or ring end works too), funnel, fluid extraction tool (or a long piece of hose) etc...
Start with the rear axle,1 right side (fuel door side) then 2 left, then 3 front right (battery side) and finally 4 front left (brake fluid reservoir side). easy.

I changed my fluid a few weeks ago suing a Motive Products European brake bleeder. It was fairly easy and didn't take very long. I got the bottle that holds about a pint of fluid to attach to the bleeder valve but you could easily do it with a section of clear tube and a bottle. The Motive bleeder made it so much easier than constantly pumping the pedal and pouring in more fluid. I will never do it the old way again.
