The dust yes...but even more so....the brake cleaner. That stuff lets off some intense brain-impairing (especially a young kids developing brain) emissions....I've gotten dizzy before after accidentally having a cloud of that vapor blow past. Scary stuff. :eek:

The W126 so simpler a kid can fix it!:D

Would this write-up apply for the w124 model as well or are there substantial differences amongst the two brake systems?

Hatterasguy 06-30-2008 10:10 PM

They are slightly more complicated, I'd recomend you making your wife do a W124!:D

it's good to see a dad spending times with his kid.

Hi Chad,

Cheers,

Nice pics but why remove the caliper to replace the pads?

4thesporty 12-31-2010 07:05 PM

He replaced the rotors as well.

Didn't know that. That makes sense
