Question Brake/Rotor Replacement
Hey guys,

I am in need of brake / rotor replacement on my 08 C300 4Matic Sport. I have a few questions before i jump into this maintenance myself though.

Do i need any special tools to do this maintenance myself? Does anyone have a detailed Howto with pictures somewhere? Also, does anyone have any recommendations on where to buy the parts online?

Thanks!
Ben

Rear or front?

For the rear all you need is a 18mm wrench to remove the caliper mounting bracket.

I've used the Ames True Temper Adjustable Thatching Rake with 54-Inch Wood Handle and it works like a charm.

Best $33 I've ever spent, period.

Get the carbon fiber handle, saves four pounds compared to the wood.

Is it advisable to change the sensors out as well, or can they be reused?
