I've been meaning to do this for ages, but as I have to work outside have been waiting for a non freezing day. Oops. I should never have delayed a safety issue.
It looks like the pads have been sticking - very badly!
The top most stainless pad guide on the caliper seems to have been pushed...
Hi, does anyone have any tips/guide on changing front and rear pads on my 2000 ml270 cdi?
Plus could you tell me what shape/size pads I need!
Any help will be very appreciated.

Reverse Logic Jack Pad Tool
Fits W203, W209, W211, W219.
I bought this from a US seller and it is a superb piece of kit for jacking (it fits perfectly into the rubber recesses on the cills).

it's the passenger one I don't understand?
thanks
Hi, when changing brake pads do I need a special tool to push the piston back in or will a clamp do? I know some cars have a special tool for screwing the piston back in
Hi might be a bit of a bone question but does the w211 have wear sensors as standard? And do I need to change them with the pads?
Also can you trust them or will I be damaging my discs by the time they activate?

Also there was comment that the discs had slight...
Can someone help me with brake pad part numbers, front and rear for a 2007, one of the last W203's made.
