Removing a wheel
!

AMG vehicles: during removal and

repositioning of the wheel, the wheel rim

can strike the ceramic-brake disc and

damage it. Therefore, take precautions and

get a second person to assist you.

Alternatively, you can use a second

alignment bolt.

!

Do not place wheel bolts in sand or on a

dirty surface. The bolt and wheel hub

threads could otherwise be damaged when

you screw them in.

When mounting/removing wheels, and for as

long as the wheels are removed, avoid

applying any external force on the brake

disks. This could impair the level of comfort

when braking.

completely.

Screw alignment bolt : into the thread

instead of the wheel bolt.

Unscrew the remaining wheel bolts fully.

Never oil or grease wheel bolts. In the event

of damage to the threads, contact a qualified

specialist workshop immediately. Have the
