Brakes on a W126 420 SEL
Just wondering how hard it is to change rotors and brakes on a 86 420 SEL Benz.
I have done plenty of brake/rotor work on your common toyota's honda's hyndai's etc.
Its usually all the same when it comes to most of those cars
2 bolts to remove the caliper then take out the pad, and then another 2 to remove the shoe and take off the rotor.
What are your comments ?

Haven't been working on a W126 but it should be pretty simple with your experience. The discs may be tighter on an older car with bigger discs, if the hand brake at the rear does not make it difficult to get the rear discs off, I bet you would do it easily.
