Hi all
I was having a chat with a friend who reckons he has changed the front pads on an ML without removing the caliper. Process went something like:
Open the bleed nipple to catch any fluid, remove the securing pins and compress the piston by using a wide flat blade against the old pad. Remove the backing plate pop out the pads and replace....
Kind of over simplified it a bit but that was the essence of it.
Is this possible can one replace front pads so easily?
