replace brakes on 2004 E500 4matic Wagon

I am looking for some help - I would like to replace my brakes on my 2004 E500 4matic Wagon...

Based on what I have read on this forum - I will get genuine MB pads and roters.... I am pretty good with tools - I have done brakes jobs before but it has been a while....

When I do the actual replacement - I will take photos and place them here on this forum - however I need a little help:

1. Some web sites say you need to use a SDS tool in order to do this job - and deactivate something? could this be an issue?
2. Any tricks or hints that anyone can offer to help?
3. Am I crazy - and have this done by MB?

thanks
Jasper

you can do it yourself. just when your doing the brake job dont open anydoors or activate anything in the car at all; make sure key is out of the ignition. youll be fine.
