I have a 2000 E320 and I am trying to replace the pads/rotors. I was able to remove the pads and calipers but the rotor was so stubborn, it would not want to come off the hub. I just ordered a repair manual for this car but have not yet received it. If anybody has experienced similar problem and have a solution, I would like to hear and learn from that. Thanks in advance</P>

 

<P class=Msonormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">I have 1994 E320 - very easy to replace - there is 1 bolt holding that rotor in place. After you take that bolt out, you can have a problem with taking the rotor of because it's frozen/rusted. In that case allyou need - big hammer and something like SRS Rust-off. I haven’t seen 2000 year model, but I don't think it's muchdifferent from 94. If there were something else holding rotor in place - you would see it!</SPAN></P>

 

thank you rostov. I tried WD-40 but it didn't work. I will try SRS Rust-off as you indicated. I just bought a puller and will try it this week-end. It must be rusted pretty badly in there. It is also very hard to find any references to this type of service in detail without having to buy it at the dearler and it is expensive. Anyway thanks.

 

You are welcome.</P>


It's CRC, not SRS - sorry!</P>


It's very common situation - do not be <SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">afraid </SPAN>to use hammer! </P>


Good luck,</P>

Hi,</P>


Will the same procedure work for a 1993 190E 2.6. I was able to change the pads/rotors for the front but the rear ones are a really stuck. I tried the hammer but only on the hub part and not the disk and that too I was hammering into the rotor instead of pushing it out. Thanks.</P>

 

let the CRC or WD-40 soak in overnight then give it a good hit with a hammer near the lug holes (not on them), it will come off with some persuasion!!

 

Thanks! I will try it. <IMG src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0">
