2005 w211 e500 brake question
trying to find out if the SBC needs to be turned off with STAR software prior to changing pads/rotors or can the SBC unit be unplugged to the same end?
thanks in advance g

You can unplug the SBC unit and be fine.

just did the brakes on my SBC car, 2004 e320, and I used the foxwell to turn off the system and also found I did not need the tool to compress the brake cylinder. I just stacked stuff on the caliper and wedged a lever into position and forced it back. I think a woodworking clamp would work fine. These brakes are EZ to do..most difficult operation is removing the metal clips and replacing them, so I just left the clips in place and changed the pads only..and sensors. Not much more diffcult than changing a tire. (and the fresh pads added a nice increase to braking grip-I chose ceramic high end pads)

hardest part for me was getting (or not getting) the T-30 Torx out of the rotor without a drill......i was 1 for 4 which is a .250 average which won't get me into the HOF
