If the tab is broken you just pull the door panel off, and get a screw
with a big washer and screw it into where the tab broke off from the
backside of the panel, works fine.

Hello,
I've removed the front brake rotors from my 1990 300SE (126) with the
hubs/bearings intact. I got the allen bolts out but haven't been able to
separate the rotors from the center hubs. I wonder if I could get some advice
on a couple of things.

No ortho here, but I did grab a (ratty) set of heated seats (and
all accouterments) from a 500 SEL, the idea was to use its bits
to put heated seats in our two SL's.
Hi Kevin,
Yep - the lines always seem to get air in them even though only one
corner was worked on.. and it works best to start at the corner the
farthest from the MC and work your way closer.
