Does anyone have a DIY for the E550 brake job? Full set of instructions would be nice but the torque values alone would suffice.

sbaer

Locking bolt, brake disk of front axle to wheel hub
Nm 10

Self-locking bolt, brake caliper to steering knuckle
Nm 115

Bolt, brake pad contact sensor to brake caliper
Nm 8

CLSED550

did you attempt this ?
what was the "Nm 115"
i thought you were talking about metric socket sizes till i saw the 115.
I am going to do these front and possably rear pads on a 2010 E550 4Matic. i just wanted to know if i need any special tools or can it be done with regular soclets, wrenches ect ? I have done plenty of Brakes in my day just never a late model 4matic benz. thanks

He is talking about the torque spec. How much torque to apply to those bolts to tighten them. over tightening can damage it.

Yes we completed the job. Straightforward but we cheated and downloaded the Startek documents to do it

You will 18mm nut to take the caliper off. Otherwise, you don't need special tools to remove the front pads. For the rears, you will Torx-40 to remove the rear caliper to get to the pads. Did mine last week. It was straight forward.

For the fronts, you do need to use a torque wrench (air gun).

Are you talking about pads and rotors or just the pads?

if rotors too, why? You have excessive miles on the car?

Pad change is super easy in the front. Just punch out the two pins.

Can anyone elaborate on what's involved in changing rotors and pads front and rear?
