brake pad replacment 2002 CLK55
I pulled off the wheel to change pads on my clk55. I did not see a way to get pad out. I have changed pads on many cars but not clear on this one.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

There are 2 torx bolts that need to be removed. They may have the plastic covers over the bolts so they may be a little hard to see, you just have to remove the bolt covers and then you will see the torx bolts.

torx bit
Take a screw driver and gently pry a pad back off the rotor to give room.
Remove the anti rattle spring.
Pop out the two rubber plugs that cover the recesses for the caliper bolts
insert the torx and unscrew the bolts.
Remove caliper
open your brake fluid res cover
remove the pads
or use them to press the pistons back flush in the rotors
Press the caliper pistons back into the calipers with a press or a large C-clamp
Apply brake paste to back of pads
let dry as instructed
Install in reverse of order.
When the pistons are pressed in it will raise the level of fluid in the res.
Make sure it does not overflow or suck it out with a turkey baster.
When done with one side repeat on other side.
When done apply brakes several times at rest and fill fluid to proper level.
Bed new pads in per instructions.
If you are not sure of any step get help.
Rear brake pads take even less time to do then the time it took to type this up.
Work safe, work clean,do only one side at a time so if you need a comparison you have the other assembled side to view.
set your e brake chock wheels use jack stands
if the rotors are not mirror smooth replace them
they can't be turned on a lathe.
