Tools needed for C32 AMG brake install???

I plan to install the c32 brakes in my car but wanted to know what tools I need. I have a bleeder set, all metric wrenches and sockets. Anything else I need? Also, I have to order the brake pad sensors. Are they same as the c320?

You'll need a torx bit set, possibly a breaker with a bit holder, and torx sockets.

One of my set screws was stuck so I had to use the breaker, the other came out fine.

The sensors should be the same-you only need one.

Get some extra brake fluid & some kitty litter. Everything is easy to get to, so if you have two people, you don't even need a bleeder kit. I got mine firmer by hand than the dealership did with their fancy machine.

I already have the torx sockets. Do I need any hex bits? Also, what size torx drivers do I need. I have a bit set up to t40. I may go ahead and buy the torx bit sockets. Already have the breaker bar as well.

Yes, you'll need a set of torx bits to take out the rotor set screw. I picked up a set of all kinds of bits (like 25 or so) at Lowe's for about $12. I can't remember the sizes, but mid-range is what you need. When I was talking about a breaker, I mean the kind that looks like a screwdriver that you pop with a hammer. The rotor & set screw (a) tend to rust together, and (b) the rotor spins when you try to loosen the screw. You may or may not be able to get them loose with just a bit driver.
