Master Cylinder replacement easy?

Looks straightforward to me. Is it the same P/N for all W210's?

"C43/CLK430/CLK55/E430/E55", uses the same Master Cylinder, which is : "005 430 88 01"

Be sure to bench bleed the master cylinder before install. Also make sure you use DOT 4 fluid.
Also secure the painted areas so you don't get any brake fluid on it. It WILL remove paint. If you get some on there, wash it off with soap and water right away. Brake fluid absorbs water so that's the best to use to remove it.

brake fluid

I would buy the brake fluid from the parts department at the dealer to make things easy.

No point. Every parts store has DOT 4 fluid. You can actually mix DOT 3 and DOT 4 fluid without issue. However, if you use DOT 3, the boiling point is lower for the fluid.

The only one you cannot mix is DOT 5.
