brake disc and pad change for 2004 w211 e320 cdi

[mr. shr]

I hadn't realised you have to adjust the pressure as you go through.
When my indy did my Mum's 211, he simply used a compressor attached to a large brake bleeder bottle. I take it that isn't the proper way to flush cars with SBC?

Would you say it's acceptable to do this method for SBC cars as I'm sure I've read that many indy's wouldn't even use star for an SBC brake flush.

As I wasn't there I cant really comment.

Just do it the right way and you will not have problems, its as simple as that.

Well the right way will be for me to take it to a main dealer.

Be interested to learn how other independents on here do a brake fluid change on SBC cars.

I would have thought they used a Star as it's the right way to do it. It's brakes and they are pretty important don't you think?

We use star and three people to do a flush on a sbc car!

Damn... Not really a DIY at home.

I most certainly do think it's important, that's why I'm on here asking.

When I saw my indy do it the way he did, I thought I can do that myself at home.

But Olly has confirmed the way it should be done and Jay has stated he does it properly too (which doesn't surprise me, having met him and seeing his set up).

I do wonder though how many independents actually do it the way mine does? i.e. incorrectly.

Do you always need three people and do you also have a £400+ brake bleeder?

Update:
Got the brake fluid changed at main dealer as was only way I could see to get it done properly.
