Brake Liner Wear Visit Workshop - WHEN?
Hello;
I am new to Benz and this forum.
I got this message today on my display.
Do I have to go right now to the shop, or can I drive it a few weeks?

This indicates you have less than 2mm left on the brake pads based on the wear sensor attached. Yes, have the brakes inspected as soon as you can. Good luck.

I did it myself!
So,,
I looked at the section on brake jobs and gave it a try.
It took about 4 hours on the left side to get the tools, put the car up, make the bleader and change the pads.
the right side took less than 15 minutes as I had everything in place and had learned how to do it. It really IS easy and I don't think I will ever pay someone to do this again!
I got parts from MB and they were extremely helpful, pads, sensors, fluid, grease 114$US.
I drove the car a week 'favoring' the brakes, down shifting, driving slow, and keeping a very lite peddel on the brakes.
The pads were all the same with wear just down to the sensor, i could have gone another week or so,if I could have put up with the constant warning message in the display.
The rotors looked ok but the next time I will do them al$o.
Thanks for all the pictures and diy!
