09 front calipers

Hi, tried to replace the pads on the 09 bluetec, didn't have the allen/torx head. Anyone know which one, what size? Thanks.

Not sure about this model, but one usually doesn't need to remove the caliper to change the pads.

Floating calipers must be removed while Fixed calipers do not have to be removed to change brake pads.

NOTE: this is the W163 ML forum, 1998 - 2005.
the OP's ML is an 09 ML which is a W164.
