S500 brake replacement instructions
I just ordered parts to replace front rotors and pads, along with back pqads on my 2000 S500.
Are there instructions or helpful hints available here, or anywhere on the net, to make sure I do it right?
Thanks

Tools:
17mm socket
small punch
channel locks
small pry bar
hammer
30mm torx
18mm or 19mm shallow socket.
ratchet
Removed the wheels, knock out the pins holding in the pads, use the channel locks to press the pads back.
Remove the pads.
Turn the wheel, removed the 18 or 19mm bolts holding the caliper on.
Move the caliper to the side(hold it up with a coat hanger).
Use the 30mm torx to removed teh screw holding the rotor on.
And smack the **** out of the old rotor,
Reinstall in reverse order, with new rotors and pads.
(something like that)
