Replacing Front Brake Discs and Pads

Model: Mercedes Classe C W204 - Years 2007-2013
Part: Brake rotors

To replace the front brake discs and pads, start by lifting the vehicle on a lift and removing the front wheel. Next, remove the caliper mounting bolts, detach the caliper, extract the old pads, and remove the caliper bracket. Then, unscrew the disc mounting bolt from the hub and remove the old disc. It is advisable to clean the disc seat on the hub to remove any oxidation residues and apply grease to prevent future buildup. Install the new disc, the caliper bracket, the new pads, and the caliper after retracting the piston.
