Front Pad time...

Purchased the EBC (Red stuff) pads for the DW's 550. Is there anything this old wrench twister needs to be aware of before starting, ie wear sensors, sliders etc.

Thanks
Bob

MB front brakes are dead easy.

Don’t grease the pins, simply check they move smoothly.

Replace pin screws and caliper-knuckle screws.

Thin open end wrench is needed to back up the pin screws.

Replace the wear sensor, there is only one per axle.
