Notes on installing brake hoses - AH42.10-P-9406-01RT
MODEL 251
Only install brake hoses which are approved by Mercedes-Benz.
It must be ensured that all brake hoses are correctly seated in their brackets and that all brackets are closed, correctly positioned and fastened.
When connecting the brake hose should be as free of twists as possible. The minimum distances must however be adhered to (see below).
On the brake hose connection piece there are two elevated sections (arrow) which lock the brake hose in the multipoint profile of the bracket.
Front axle:
The minimum distance of the brake hose to the longitudinal member in assembly status (vehicle on lifting platform, suspension strut at full rebound travel) must be at least 25 mm; the brake hose should be mounted as parallel as possible to the longitudinal member.
A minimum distance of 15 mm from other axle components must be guaranteed in all driving situations.
Where applicable the brake hose may be slightly twisted within itself during the mounting process, to ensure that the minimum distances are adhered with.
Rear axle:
The minimum distance of the brake hose to the suspension strut in assembly status (vehicle on lifting platform, suspension strut at full rebound travel) must be at least 30 mm.
A minimum distance of 15 mm from other axle components must be guaranteed in all driving situations.
Where applicable the brake hose may be slightly twisted within itself during the mounting process, to ensure that the minimum distances are adhered with.
