On My 04 S500 with 48000 miles, I will be changing the rotors and pads and need to know if you must remove the caliper bridge to remove front rotors or can they be removed just by removing the hex screw. I normally change my own pads but first time changing rotors. Any help will be appreciated.

 

you need to remove the caliper to remove the rotor only 2 bolts i think they are 21mm

 

Thanks. I should work on this this weekend.

 

a large hammer to bang off the rotor will help.
