Front brake pad change DIY video
Gang,
I searched here and youtube but couldn't find a good DIY video on changing the front brake pads on a C32. I did find this: http://youtu.be/cHgzwTqiYrs
It's not a C32 or an AMG or even a Merc but it is a Brembo caliper and the procedure is identical (our brakes are made by Brembo, arent they?). It only takes the guy 2:30 to change the pads and he is in no particular hurry. It doesn't show replacement of the wear sensor, unfortunately. I gotta tackle this job in a couple weeks; mebbe I'll do a quick vid. With good technique and a little practice I bet the pads could be done in 60 seconds.

Pretty easy procedure! I replaced both front sides in about 45 minutes, including replacing a smashed foglight. Of course, I got it all back together, and the "brake wear warning" message is illuminated, so I must've busted the sensor when reinstalling it. Off'll come the wheel after I get a new sensor...
