I want to do a brake pad change on my W221.

On the front how can I push the piston back? I have a C clamp would that be sufficient?

Also as the rears are electric operated would it be more hassle than it's worth and take it to a garage?

Fronts just remove reservoir cap and with old pads in just use large screwdriver carefully as not to damage discs then pry apart. Once off you can normally push them in if needed using your hands.
