2015 ML350 How to disengage park brake for rear brake replacement
I am trying to replace the rear brakes on my ML350 and based on what I have read need to retract the electric parking brake before I can remove the calipers. I have found videos on you tube showing how to do if you have a key type ML, but mine is keyless so not sure how to do it. With a key model you put it into accessory mode to start and then a series of buttons on the steering wheel. Mine doesn't work that way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
MD wants $900.00 USD to replace just the rear and I can buy the OEM parts from the dealer and save almost $400.00.
Also, anyone know where else I can buy OEM pads and Rotors?

My notes when I did it...
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...
wheel lug nut torque is 110 lbft
