I just replaced the CPS today on my wife's 2005 SL55. I bought a Bosch sensor from Amazon for $39 shipped with tax, Prime. However, I could not get the 1/4" socket to work. A quick trip to Harbor Freight netted a 7 piece E torx socket set (item#67898) for $7.60 with tax after a 20% off coupon. The E-8 socket fit perfectly. 20 mins later I was good to go. I used Gorilla duct tape to secure the screw to the socket to start it. Saved $300 on the Stealers price.

this is probably a long shot since this thread is old, but did anyone take pics of the process to replace the sensor? im new to this. and looking under the hood is quite intimidating if you dont know what you're looking at.
