Front Brakes

Dennis · 04-28-2008

I would like to change the front brakes on my 2007 SLK350 to a dustless brake pad. Would it be hard for me to change them? I have changed pads on my other cars, would this be any different.Does anyone have any ideas on what type of pads to buy?

Changing them is no different to any other car mate, so it should be fine.

I changed mine and is pretty easy.. like Dansslk said. I changed mine to ceramic pad and so far is pretty much dust free. I ordered from thepartbin.com. Stay away from the greenstuff redstuff .

Thanks every one,will I need any special tools?

No. I used a c-clamp.. just like regular brake except the front has 4 pistons. You may need a nail punch to push out the pins.
