I want to change the brake fluid on my w300. Where is the best place to drain the old-is there a bleed off on each wheel? Also, what brake fluid should I use?
Thanks
Jim

There are bleeders at each wheel. The best fluid is the DOT3 fluid as the silicon type would not be compatable.

I thought that there would be bleeders, but I have looked and cant seem to find them...are they on the inside or outside of the drum?

They are located on the backing plate next to the brake line
