Removing a wheel
!

AMG vehicles: during removal and repo-

sitioning 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 centring pin.

!

Do not place wheel bolts in sand or dirt.

The threads of the wheel bolts and wheel
hubs could otherwise be damaged when
the bolts are tightened.
