So I want to double check my plan of action with you guys, just to make sure that I'm not missing anything, because the benz is my only car - so once the wheels are off, I'm stuck till it's done. Also, my dad always told me that the more you plan, the less you F-up.

So here is my order of attack:

1. put fender protection blanket on fender
   put plastic and rags under master cylinder
2. Remove the old master cylinder
3. Remover the old booster
4. Attach new booster
5. Bench bleed new cylinder
6. Attach new cylinder
   loosen lug bolts unless you have impact wrench
7. Jack up car
   support car with jack stands!@
8. Remove rear wheels
9. Remove brake pads- don't bother on the caliper you're changing
10. Attach new brake pads not on the one you need to change?
11. Remove calipers
12. Remove old rotors
13. Attach new rotors
14. Re-attach calipers
15. Bleed brakes use a power bleeder, MUCH simpler!
16. Attach wheels
17. Profit!

Am I missing anything? Any other questions?
