The Benz brakes are as easy or easier than just about any American car. Many guys on here have changed their own pads because the original pads are the dustiest you will ever see in your lifetime. The front are exactly the same to work on as a Jeep Grand Cherokee. The rears are the easiest you will ever see. You just pull a single to replace the pads. Their is no removal of the caliper required and no piston to screw back in like just about every other american car.
