Benz caliper pistion reset tool

If you're talking about a tool to push the caliper back in, use a giant C clamp. Be careful though, if you have ABS/ASR, you will have to open the bleed nipple on the ABS/ASR unit. Or...you can crack the bleed nipple on the the brake caliper itself-my choice. (Tube attached to the nipple and down into a clean jar of brake fluid).

impact extractor

If you're talking about an impact wrench (the kind you hit with a hammer), you can buy a Lisle or a KD at most NAPA stores.
Some MB brake systems if they're going to be bled, require a power brake bleeder. Make sure you are aware of this if you're contemplating changing the brake fluid.

seabird-we have to know what car & engine you have, yr made etc. You could pressure bleed virtually any brake system with the right setup, but you need to follow the directions for the ABS/ASR braking systems-depending on YOUR particular car.

No Special tools to replace the brake pads on a SBC W211
either unplug the SBC pump or lock the car and do NOT open the door

Bleeding the brakes on a SBC W211 SHOULD be done via the SDS / Star but can be done the old school way

The SBC Pump is located under the hood pass side of the car..Cant Miss it

The connection is easy to remove


If You do NOT have Basic Automotive skills PLEASE do NOT work on the brakes
Have a Shop do the work
