Replacement of front brake pads

Model: Mercedes Classe C W203 - Years 2000-2007
Part: Brake pads

Raise the car on a lift and remove the wheel to be repaired. Unscrew the two fixing pins of the rear brake caliper and unhook the wear sensor prsa. Using a fixed medium-sized screwdriver, pry between the disc and the caliper so as to slightly retract the caliper piston and create enough clearance to extract the caliper. Then remove the old pads and the relative sealing wheels (in the packaging of the new pads there are generally also the new springs) and wash the caliper support and the pincer itself with a special spray. Use a clamp to fully retract the brake caliper piston so as to be able to accommodate the new pads. Therefore unscrew the fixing pins of the caliper support and the fixing pin of the brake disc; remove the disc (if necessary give a few blows with the hammer) and wash the hub; then reassemble the disk (if necessary, replace it with a new one). Refit the brake caliper support, apply the sealing wheels and insert the new pads by reconnecting the sensor socket; then reposition the caliper and tighten the relative fixing pins. Refit the wheel and pump on the brake pedal until it offers the right resistance.
