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, you should proceed carefully
and get a second person assist to you.
Alternatively, you can use a second align-
ment 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 apply-
ing any external force on the brake disks. This
could impair the level of comfort when brak-
ing.
Unscrew the uppermost wheel bolt com-
X
pletely.
Screw alignment bolt : into the thread
X
instead of the wheel bolt.
Unscrew the remaining wheel bolts fully.

Remove the wheel.
