Can some give me instructions on how to replace my rear brakes on my 2004 E500

BagMan

I just did the pads this weekend. Akebono pads are awesome by the way. Very Happy so far!

Anyway, 1) remove that springy thing that is facing you. Release the tension with a small pry bar or large screw driver.
2) Remove the 2 bolts on the back of the caliper. They are T40 torx and are semi covered by rubber boots.
3) Lift off caliper to reveal brake pads
4) Clean and install new pads
5) Reassemble. Don't forget the spring tensioner.

Hope it helps
