2014 Front Brake DIY Help!? :)
Hey everyone,
I'm new here as a member but have been following for a few years now.
I finally decided after my dealership wanted to charge me an arm and a leg on a brake job to attempt it myself.
I did search this forum but haven't found any specifics that I need to do the front brakes myself and would greatly appreciate some help.
I have ordered my front rotors, brake pads, and brake sensor wires, but need help for the sockets needed to remove the wheel, brake caliper and rotors.
I thought I seen on a thread for a CLA250 a gentleman had mentioned using a some specific sizes specifically
I would appreciate some help very much!
PS... I have also watched the Youtube videos mentioned on other threads. I just need the tool specs for my particular car.

- 18mm open-ended wrench
- 14mm socket
- 13mm socket
- 8mm box wrench
- T-30 torx driver
I would appreciate some help very much!

As someone who does all their own work my advice would be to dig in and do it(runs to store/harbor freight for any items needed).... if you have a good set of metric sockets and E Torx and Torx sockets should be good.... I would disconnect the battery and make sure you review the process. Its not rocket science on these …. I am getting ready to convert my E550 to C63 6 pistons
