Hi!
I have had a search but can't find this - hope that isn't just due to operator error!
I have recently got a CL55 AMG and seem to have a bit of a squeal from the brakes (only notice it with all the windows down in the current weather!). Have had a look and the pads still seem to have plenty of friction material on them, so guessing the pads/callipers need a bit of a clean and maybe a little copper grease or that lovely blue stuff (I have both so opinions also welcome).
Whilst having a look, I was not exactly sure how you are meant to remove the pads - do callipers come off or do the pads just come out of the top? In my defence, it was getting dark at the time so couldn't really see well what was what! Also, not sure if it is front or back, so are both basically the same?
Thanks in advance for any info!
Neil
