I'm posting a follow-up as I just completed the front brake job on my '98 W210. What a pleasure compared to the earlier W123 I did last year.

In about an hour and a half I could do pads and rotors on both sides, no messing with wheel bearings or removing the hubs like the earlier ones. It's really criminal that the dealer charges nearly $500 in labor for this task...I saw the prior owner had it done at his dealership in 2002 and they charged almost $700 for parts and labor! Now, in '06 the parts set me back $215 from MB, so what does that mean, 5 hours in flat rate book time for this job??? Unreal.
