E320 cdi Estate 2000 front pad replacement

[Rogmerc]

Hi I have not replaced front pads before and intend doing it this weekend, is there a straight forward procedure as I cannot find a Haynes manual for this model,

Thanks for any advice

^ me too. There is no Haynes for the W210.

Did mine a whlie ago and its a doddle, just remember to retract the piston fully into the caliper, you can do this with the caliper still fitted by using a large flat screwdriver to lever the pads away from the disc, be careful of the caliper piston rubber boot, ie dont stick a hole in it!
May be worth looking at mbworld or benzworld for a few pics.

Remember to take the top off the resevoir before doing so, (and replace it afterwards)...
