It's a very straightforward job on these...much easier than on the W123 in that you don't have to take the hub off the spindle, just pull the caliper off and remove the hex bolt holding the rotor to the hub and "tap" with a mallet to break free the rust. Wire brush the hub before fitting the new rotor so it will seat right. We did both sides in about 90 minutes on my '98. I opened the bleeder when I squeezed the piston back into the caliper to prevent backwashing the fluid into the system, then, when it was all done I sucked all the fluid out of the reservoir and refilled with fresh and vacuum bled all 4 wheels to flush out the old fluid completely to finish up the job and be set for another 2 years.
