Advice on DIY replacement of rear brake pads?
My brake pad wear light is on in my 2015 CLS63 AMG. I've successfully replaced pads/wear sensors and on a 2008 E550 and some other cars. Anyone have any advice or links to tutorials or links to good places to buy parts or any other insight?

Rear pad tutorials are more common on the W204 and W212 which are identical to the W218

2 pins and a spring are all that retain the pad.

I used the Pagid pads from FCP Euro (I'm not affiliated). Install is super easy and probably took 40 mins total for both sides...likely half that time if I did it again.

The Pagid pads have been great so far, although I probably only have 200 miles on em.

That thread is a pretty solid one. Pagid and Textar make some solid options for the car.

Thanks for the link to that thread, it was very useful. I'm making this happen!
