brake shoes fit drums and now adays go on the back. Disk pads go almost always on the front. Old cars used brake shoes on front and back ,but that stopped early 1970's. New cars have disk pads front and back, thought i better through this one in for all the new car buffs.
Brake pads are important to operate the car efficiently. Extra brake pads may be needed in the case that the pads currently on the car go out, and need to be fixed.
I think you should contact your auto shop, they should be able to help. If not just go back to the store that you got the brake pads from and get a new one. Hope this helped. -Anwers.com
Not completly off, you will be able to lift the caliper off, but it will still be connected to the brake-fluid hose ;) then you pop off the pads and twist back the brake piston, and There you go :)
The best brake pads would be the factory mercedes-benz brake pads. I have seen lots of aftermarket brake pads on these cars, and all they do is squeak. So you can usually never go wrong with factory parts.
Go to your dealership and pay to got your brake-pads changed.
There are some online videos that are available when it comes to installing brake pads. You can go online and search under video for installing brake pads.
no you have a brake fluid leak somewere
hi you have to screw them back in, if pads were low they will be difficult to go back and will need a brake rewinding tool. most good car acessory shops sell them about £20
The brake fluid level will gradually go down as the brake pads , brake shoes wear
Its a fairly simple process. Remove the wheel, unbolt the two bolts on the back of the caliper. Go to the engine bay and open the brake fluid resivoir to allow the brake fluid to slow back up into the resivior. Now that the two bolt are loose, you can pull the caliper off of the rotor. Remove the two pads. Use a c-clamp or brake tool to press the brake piston back into the caliper SLOWLY. Place the new pads into the caliper, and slide it back onto the rotor. Bolt the caliper back on. Repeat the same on the opposite side. Once everything is back together, syphon any "near overflow" brake fluid out of the resivoir. Place the cap back on and slowly press the brake pedal repeatedly until the pedal becomes stiff as normal again. Done.
The best way to chance your own brake pads would be to make sure you know that the problem is really the brake and then go to AutoZone and buy a new brake and follow the instructions in the manual
