How to Replace the Rear Brake Disc and Pad Kit on a Mercedes W201

Model: Mercedes 190 W201 - Years 1982-1993
Part: Brake rotors

Replacing the rear brake disc and pad kit on a Mercedes 190, model W201, is a relatively easy task that can be done independently, aided by our short video tutorial that illustrates the key steps for disassembly and replacement. Start by opening the bonnet and removing the brake fluid cap. Next, lift the vehicle and remove the rear wheel. Continue the replacement process by cleaning the brake caliper mounting points using WD40 spray and a wire brush. Once cleaned, it will be easier to remove them using a hammer and screwdriver to take out the pins, and then use long-nose pliers to widen the brake opening to remove the tensioning element. After that, remove the mounting bolts, take off the disc, and install the new one. Begin the assembly process by securing the mounting elements before reinserting the wheel.
