Brakes problem
1997 Mercedes Benz C230 4 cyl Wheel Drive Type unknown 257214 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,

my ABS light is illuminated on my dashboard and my rear brakes grind when I am stopping. I have been driving like that for a little while and I wasnted to know how much it would approximately cost to replace them / would it be extremely difficult to replace them myself if I bought the parts? Would special tools be needed or just a wrench and a clamp?

Thanks!

If you have been driving like this for a while and your ABS light is on I would recommend bringing this in. There may be additional damage that has occured to the brake assembly. Regardless this is going to be expensive just like most repairs on these vehicles.
