I got the pads removed on the rear caliper, and now I am trying to figure out how to remove the caliper bracket from the wheel assembly. The first bolt was easy to get out, but the second bolt is sort of blocked by the swaybar endlink. I tried undoing the endlink, but the bolt just continues to spin. Is there a trick to the end link to take it off? Does the plastic cap need to be pried off?

Also, does anyone know the torque spec for the rear caliper bolts? Is it 120NM similar to the front ones?

I figured it after watching a number of random videos about merc swaybars. Turns out that the sway bar bolt has a torx pattern at the end for a torx wrench. This keeps the bolts from spinning when taking off the nut. I didn't see it initially because AMG put some sort of sealant on the sway bar bolts.
