Can anyone help me tho replace the front
brake pad on my 1995 Mercedes-Benz E320? this is my first time D.I.Y.
Just need some guidance. Took the tire off, and now not sure how to get the housing for the brake pads off.
Answer: Best bet is
to buy the Haynes manual for $20,00 you’ll get a lot of value out of
the book. If you look at the “inside” of the saddle, you’ll see a bolt
near the bottom which, when removed, allows the saddle to swing upward,
off of the disc. Use a coat hanger
to hold it out of your way, and removal of the pads will be obvious.
Replace the new pads, using also some anti squeal, then go up top and
remove the brake fluid filler cap, put a clean cloth over the open
reservoir to keep dust out, then go back below and use a couple of long
end wrenches to pry the new pads apart, to increase the width of the
opening. Now the saddle will swing back down. Remove the coat hanger,
swing the saddle into place, and replace the locking bolt. Do the other
side, replace the brake cap, and you’re good for another 100K miles.
