DIY E500 Brake Job?
I just wanted to check and see if it would be of benefit to any of you to have a step-by-step brake pad replacement for an E500 (W211) w/ pics. I am going to be doing one on my front brakes tomorrow at a friends house. There is no way that I am going to pay a stealership $550 for a friggen front brake job. I have a baby on the way. Do you realize how many diapers and how much formula I can get with the amount of money saved?!?!

[QUOTE=azis123;451879]Ok needing some help from you experts here. I'm doing front brakes on a friend's 06 E350. I know the rotors are warped so new ones are necessary. There are three sizes of rotors to choose from, 11.6", 11.8" and 12" in diameter. Is the OEM standard size 11.6" and will either the 11.8" or the 12" be a simple bolt on affair?
That being said her rears are fine but for future reference are larger discs in the rear 11.8" or 12" a direct bolt on or is modding required? Newbie to MBs here so your help is appreciated.
This is where I'm referencing this sizes from. I'm going with EBC rotors and Akebono ceramic pads. Thank you for this write up as I'm finding the info very useful.
