E350 w212 Brake replacement

Hi Everybody,
I am new, so please understand if I make a mistake....

Could anybody advise me as to a possible issue with replacing the front brake discs and pads on my 2011 E350 Coupe Sports. As I have been told that there could be an issue with compressing the calipers? I have been told it could course ABS issues.

Thank you in advance
Snoopy

If you are having trouble with compressing the caliper back in try buying a caliper compressor tool. It is basically a big Screw with a metal plate that you can place against the piston and unscrew until the piston is compressed again.

A C Clamp and scrap piece of wood on the back side of the caliper is my preferred method
