Getting ready to do my front brakes tomorrow, need torque numbers?

I've got Axxis pads, they seem to have a place for the sensor (on the outside, I believe). Anything tricky about this ?

About how long should this take ?

What about getting the rotors off, etc, anything to look out for ?

I also need torque numbers, so I can do the job right, if anyone has them ?

(Car: 1998 C280 sport, this is a front brake job)

I've done brake jobs on a bunch of cars, is there anything different with the Benz ?

Brakes on Benz same as other cars. I guess torque on the bolts to be about 75ft-lbs. Just a guess

depends on the weather
if your are talking about the torques spec for the wheel bolts 12mm = 75-85 ft. lbs.
