Hello,


Going to look at the wifes brakes over the weekend to see if the discs / pads do need changing after a recomendation from the garage they have a few thousand miles left.

Has anyone any sort of pdf or e-mail..able down load (sort of haynes manual thing) for removing them.

Its a 2003 A210 Amg model.

Thanks in advance

That should help, a how to guide would be handy but I've changed them on other cars years ago I guess the process is similar?

OK I have just had a look, they are the ATE and you need a 7mm alen key to remove the whole caliper, do have something near by to rest it on.

Anything that you need to know,just ask

Cheers :)

We are going to look at the brakes tomorrow to see what needs replacing hopefully nothing....but if they do I can order the bits and be sure to do a good job.

Will the brake fuid need changing? brings back nightmares of mini's pumping the pedal to get the presure back...

It is said every 2 years, they did not offer to do mine when it went in for its 5 year service. The fluid makes say it should be done as it takes in moisture

With a one man bleeding pipe its easy to do
