Okay, I feel stupid. Recharging the a/c was simple. Got myself one of those handheld machines and a can of R134a, and it was a breeze. A/c is back working great and just in time. Total cost was only about $50. Hopefully I don't have any major leaks...

Also had really squeaky brakes on the 300E and fixed that today as well. I got some of the Benz brand break pad paste and put in new wear pad sensors. Squeaking is gone at least for now...

It has been a good day. Thanks guys!
