Does that make sense? any ideas?

Joe,
Put in the new pads first, bolt it all up and then do the power bleed.
Do you have all the torque specs, and MB repair/maint. manual info? Sequence for bleeding is RR, LR, RF, LF. Don't let the reservoir run dry!
Pressure must be 30psi (2 bar) to flush ABS. About 80 cc per corner will get all the old out. If your car has ASR there's more to do.
Have fun, it's a very rewarding DIY project.
