	Removing
	Risk of death caused by vehicle slipping or toppling off of the lifting platform.	Align vehicle between the columns of the lifting platform and position the four support plates at the lifting platform support points specified by the vehicle manufacturer.	AS00.00-Z-0010-01A
1	Raise vehicle with vehicle lift
2.1	Pull off wheel covers	Only vehicles with wheel covers.
3	Unscrew wheel bolts and remove wheels	All except Model 209, 230.474 /476 /479, 240: ↓

	Check
4	Check wheel bolts	The round contact shoulders on the lug bolts must be free of oil and grease. Bolts with damaged threads, worn zinc plating on the radius seat or corroded radius seat must be replaced, otherwise they may shear off.
5	Check tires for damage and condition, and measure depth of tread		AP40.10-P-4051Z
	Information on tires / rims		AH40.10-P-9411-01A
	Notes on measuring tire tread depth	All models	AH40.10-P-0006-01T
		Brake pad gauge	Fig 4
6	Check disk wheels	Check for: Contamination to ensure that radius seats are free of oil and grease Damage to centering, radius seats and rim flanges corrosion on contact surfaces
7	Check wheel hub, wheel bolt thread and brake disk bowl on wheel contact surface for dirt and corrosion	Clean corroded surfaces with a wire brush or emery cloth. Dirty or corroded wheel bolt threads must be cleaned or recut. Any dirt or corrosion left in the thread prevents the wheel bolt from reaching the necessary preload force, despite the nominal torque having been reached. If the wheel bolt threads are damaged, the wheel hub must be replaced.
	Install
8.1	Rotate road wheels if necessary, maintaining the correct running direction	Except vehicles with mixed tires on the front and rear axle Depending on the state of wear after a distance between 5000 and 10,000 km.
9	Slide on the road wheels and tighten the lug bolts.	Observe tightening sequence (1 to 5) All except model 164 and model 210 with special protection version, code 979: ↓

11	Rectify tire pressure on all wheels	If there is a loss of tire pressure: determine cause and replace the tire if necessary. On vehicles with tire pressure monitor: Only use plastic valve caps (risk of corrosion).
12.1	Fit wheel covers	Only vehicles with wheel covers.
13.1	Correct tire pressure of spare tire	Only vehicles with spare tire. In the event of tire pressure loss: Determine cause and replace tire of spare wheel if necessary. On vehicles with tire pressure monitor: Only use plastic valve caps (risk of corrosion).
13.2	Check expiry date of TIREFIT tire sealant	Only vehicles which are equipped with TIREFIT tire sealant.	AP40.10-P-4054R
