Has anyone changed their own brake-pads
Does anyone have any experience changing the brake-pads and rotors on a SL500 (R230)? Please post a write-up/DIY if you are familiar with this process. Thanks a lot in advance.

If your car has the brake system that many SL's do (brake by wire electric), you're not supposed to mess with the system because of extreme pressures.
Don't do anything till you do some more research.

Not advisebul to do so, too many critical operations involved. SBC system is not for DIY.
