DIY brake job W213

[ssheikh93]

I fancy having a go at the changing the pads and discs myself. I have been watching a lot of videos to get a good idea.

I have got a jack, stands and wrench. A spanner set and rachet. What size sockets/torx do I need? And any other recommended tools?

Any guidance on good practise from the diy-ers on here?

Thanks

It's a w213 e220d and I'm able to release parking brake for fitting position

Fronts are easy rears are more fafy trying to find self adjusters inside the rear disks front just take off calipers and hangers 1 Alan key on disks then tap off old disk front rears similar but need to release self ajusters to get them off

I don't know about your car, but when I did pads front & rear on my R Class I needed odd ball 9mm & 11mm sized Allen keys ..... not found in any set anywhere in the World but available off eBay/etc.

Polish the front hubs before fitting new discs . Get a wire drill attachment and some emery cloth . Watch you tube videos . The job itself isn't difficult.
