Does it need any special tools on bleeding brake?
I'm just looking to upgrade to front 6 and 4 pistons AMG Calipers.I'm just wondering if it needs any special tools for bleeding the brake fluid while replacing the Calipers?

The answer is yes and no. It is possible to bleed your brakes with a short piece of tubing and a bottle filled with a small amount of fluid. But...you must watch the brake resevoir closely, if it gets low you will be taking air into the lines. If your going to be doing your own at the required intervals then it would be best to purchase a brake bleeding kit. There are cheap ones and expensive ones, Mityvac makes a number of different ones. Be sure do each wheel in the suggested order.
