Warning from brake wear indicator sensor leads to a comprehensive DIY disc brake system repair in my MB Sprinter camper van.
Technical talk in this video focuses on how I diagnose the broken brake disc and its surface deformation, safely open brake caliper and remove / replace brake pad. I also measure the remaining thickness of brake pad on the brake caliper piston side and check the brake wear indicator sensor for the next van service.
Soon I publish a longer DIY video where these disc brake system components are replaced on front and rear axle of this Sprinter 2014:
- Brake Pads
- Brake Disc (rotor)
- Brake Wear Indicator Sensor
- Parking Brake Shoes
- Parking Brake Spring set
- Brake Caliper Slide Pins
- Sliding Pin Rubber (gasket / seal)
- Brake Caliper Anti-Rattle clips (shim plate / retention clip)
