Rotor Replacement for 2007 C230
I am planning on this myself as I have done it before on my 2003 C230 as well. Are there any changes that I need to be aware of? I havent taken of my wheels yet and would like to know what I am getting into. It looks like I have to remove the front 4 reverse torx bolts on the caliper housing, but I never had to do that before...

For the the pads and rotors you will need a T30 to remove the screw holding the rotors on, a T45 or 8allen(dont remember which) and a 18mm socket, also calipers presses, and a bungie cord to hang the caliper. I also recommend a large hammer to remove the rotor as they are usually rusted on pretty good. To tell if you have SBC the hydraulic unit under the hood with all of the brake lines going out of it will say SBC on it if you have SBC also it will have an accumilator on the bottom of the pump. If you do not have SBC then this unit will only say ESP and will not have an accumilator.

It's a pretty straightforward job. Logical thinking will get you far. Just the 2 rear ones get the calipers off. And for the love of God, block the rear wheels and use axle/jack stands and not just a hydaulic one!
