Hello All.....Can I remove these with the car on stands or does the car need to be on a lift with a 4' breaker bar to loosen those bolts.
Reason I am asking such a question is that on my 211 63 the rear caliper bolts need a 4' bar and a 2' pipe car on a lift to crack those caliper bolts....
Doing rotors and pads and also removing my backing plate to refinish...
I am hoping this is a driveway special..
Side note: Is any running Akebono pads if so what is the PN.
Thank You All...

It doesn't have to be on stands. Just make sure you torque the bolts to the correct specs when done.

Undo the bolts that hold the caliper to the bracket, they will be easier, not the ones that hold the bracket to the spindle.

I need to remove rotor so I need to remove the caliper bracket.
The bolts that holds the bracket to the spindle is what I had issues with on my 211 rears bolts. First time I am doing a W212 front rotor removal and was wondering about those bolts. I also need to remove backing plate to paint...or replace..full of rush.

There's only one way to find out is to give it a try,I pretty sure a 2ft breaker bar can handle those caliper bolts I'm surprised your backing plates are rusting? that is a galvanized metal they shouldn't rust

I usually remove them with a 30" snap on ratcheting bar, no special pipe needed. I might be a tad bigger/stronger than you though.

They torque in there pretty tight and have thread locking compound on them, if you can squeeze an impact gun in there, do it. Use a quality impact swivel if needed.

Replace the bolts every time, as per WIS.
