Like many Euro cars, the rotor is secured to the front of the hub w/ a large Phillips-head screw. You might need penetrating oil and an impact screw-driver to free it. If you end up having to drill it out, I doubt that screw is needed and was just a factory aid. Most American factories used a thin push washer you can break off and toss. The wheel studs secure the rotor. A missing screw would very slightly affect wheel balance though.

nope...
the rotor is bolted to the hub from the inside... the hub has to come off.
the 201 and 124 were the first mb's with the rotor held on with a set screw.
