Exclamation 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
  • 18mm open-ended wrench
  • 14mm socket
  • 13mm socket
  • 8mm box wrench
  • T-30 torx driver
I didn't know if this would also work on my 2014 CLA45 AMG? Also the torque specs for for the rotor screw, the caliper bolts, and the lugs on the wheel.

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.

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

Where are you located?
