How to Replace the Rear Brake Pads on a Mercedes A-Class?

Model: Mercedes Classe A W176 - Years 2012-2018
Part: Brake pads

To replace the rear brake pads on a Mercedes A-Class, lift the vehicle using a jack so that the corresponding wheel is off the ground. Once the vehicle is lifted, remove the wheel by unscrewing the bolts to access the brake caliper. Detach the caliper from the brake rotor by unscrewing the bolt, then slide out the old brake pads. Insert the new pads into the caliper, reposition the caliper onto the rotor, and install the corresponding wheel.
