Need help with DIY stuff....

Hey fellas. I know there is a search button. But I thought i'd get help from my fellow W210 lovers!

I will be replacing my brake pads and rotors, also my spring pads. I have an idea, but is it possible to get a break down somewhere, with schematics and/or photos?

Any input you may have will be highly appreciated. A buddy of mine will be helping me and has tools and knowledge needed, but hasn't worked on an MB before. SO, I would like to have some info, in case we hit any roadblocks.

Thank you in advance!!
