2017 GLS 63 front break pad and rotor replacement (DIY Video)

Playing around with my new insta 360 x5 camera and recoded this DIY.

Not a bad diy if you have some knowledge of working on cars. I replaced all 4 brake pads and rotors and bled all of them. Took my time but at 103k miles, running good. The rotors were original so first time changing them. Over the years I just measured the thickness of the rotors but this time it was finally time to change them.

Brembo rotors from FCP Euro Parts
Duralast break pads from AutoZone (lifetime warranty, so I paid for the first one and this is my third set for the rears... Who gives life time warranty but I'll take new ones for free any day). Went with duralast on the front one this time around. Easy enough to swap them when ever needed.

Enjoy!
