How to Replace the Rear Brake Pads on a Mercedes A-Class W169

Model: Mercedes Classe A W169 - Years 2004-2012
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, see how to replace the rear brake pads on a Mercedes A-Class W169: First, remove the rear wheels and lift the vehicle securely on jack stands (do not rely solely on your jack). There are two nuts to remove to take off the calipers: they are 13 mm and the counter nut is 15 mm. Retract the piston and remove the old pads, then clean the brackets thoroughly before installing the new pads. Apply some copper grease - specifically for brakes - to the ends before mounting them. Reinstall the caliper, tightening the nut and counter nut securely. Reattach the wheel and repeat the process on the other side.
