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.

•► Unscrew the uppermost wheel bolt

•► Unscrew the uppermost wheel bolt completely.

•► Screw alignment bolt 1 into the thread instead of the wheel bolt.

•► Unscrew the remaining wheel bolts fully.

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.

•► Remove the wheel.
