Need help with W126 front rotor replacement
Hello: I recently replaced the rear rotors, calipers, pads and brake hoses on my 1990 300SE. It was suprisingly simple and straightforward. I left the wheel bearings for another day and maybe another person, like a real mechanic. Now I want to tackle the front brakes and change the same items: rotors, calipers, pads and hoses. I've read many posts on the subject and have seen just a few photos. What I'd like to know is if I can change the front rotors without bothering the bearings? I want to be prepared with the proper parts and tools if I have to at least re-pack the bearings. If I do have to remove and re-pack the bearings what will I need besides the correct grease? Seals...? I wouldn't mind replacing the calipers, rotors, pads and hoses myself and then taking the car to a mechanic to properly set the bearings if that's what I have to do.
Thank you in adance for your replies.
