What do my fellow MB World member do with the SBC when replacing the brake fluid and brake pads?

I am thinking of replacing the brake fluid on my SL, R230 and i am just going to take off the ground wire from the batteries i think

Do you follow what it says in the SBC manual when replacing brake fluid, brake pads?
Or how do you do it any different way?

I call a friend and talk about my problem. I trust him because he worked at the service station. He said he hadn't changed the brake fluid on the Mercedes-Benz R230 yet, but said he would figure it out. Then I went to this site http://mercedes-benz.manymanuals.com/cars/2002-cl-class and found there MERCEDES BENZ 2002 CL-CLASS MANUALS so as not to screw up anything. He says that this is a reliable site with manuals not only for cars and for all equipment

I follow WIS on this one, which instructs to use STAR to:

-Disable the SBC system for brake pads.
-Change brake fluid & bleed the system.
