that the members of this board are awesome. The indy mechanic in glenwood springs quoted me $400 for new rear rotors and pads for my 220D. I ordered the parts for $81 shipped and 3 hours and 3 beers later, my brakes are done. Thanks to everyone who ever posted info about brake service, as I studied the archives all week waiting for the parts to arrive.

The right rotor came right off (as soon as I released the parking brake!!!! DOH!)


Choss on the right, new Brembo on the left


No wonder there was some grinding noises coming from that side of the car


I did the left side so fast, that I forgot to take pictures. New Brakes!

Great pics. I believe I will have the pleasure of doing the same for my 190D in the future. Speaking of which, I checked out your 190D on ebay. I loved the pics - especially the one of the mechanic! Don't see that kind of personal touch on ebay that often. It's important that buyers can see an honest face!

New shiny parts always look nice.
