For all others reading this post, rebuilding M/B calipers is not easy, even when someone has done it many times. It's a tedius and frustrating job, usually made worse without the proper tools.
I've done it several times and will probably purchase the front calipers completely rebuilt if I do it again. The rears are somewhat easier without having to deal with the heat shield.

OK, thanks for the clarification... So doing it with our calipers is a bit more complicated. There have been others in this forum saying that they have DIYed their caliper rebuilding for their MBs and that it is not at all complicated... Maybe it is to some and not to others... My point, though, was to commend the good intentions of someone like the guy who took all the time to write that tutorial with a genuine desire to help others and to say that that type of mental attitude is also a very precious asset in a forum like this one.
