| front brake job c230
Well, my daughter has 20,000 miles on her '06 C230, and the front brake discs are extremely groovy(not in that Austin Powers kind of way). She will be home for the holidays & I thought it would be a good time to pull a brake job. I've done my share of brake jobs, just not on Mercs. Are there any tricks you might like to share about the actual job, where to source the parts(2 front discs & the pads) where they don't take an arm & a leg? I'm all ears.
