Notes On Installing Brake Hoses - AH42.10-P-9406-01A
Model 117, 118, 129, 140, 156, 164, 166, 167, 170, 171, 172, 176, 177, 190, 197, 202, 203, 204, 207, 208, 209, 210, 211, 212, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 230, 231, 240, 242, 243, 246, 247, 251, 292, 415, 420, 447, 448, 636, 638, 639
Only install brake hoses (51) which have been approved by Mercedes-Benz.
When installing brake hoses (51) make sure that the brake hose (51) is not twisted when it is installed (free of twists). An adequate distance from other axle components must be guaranteed in all driving situations.
Model 129, 140
A locking plate (60) with a bi-hexagon or multi-point profile is attached on the bracket (52). Insert brake hose (51) into retainer plate (60) so that it does not chafe on vehicle parts at full left and right steering angle, or at full compression and rebound travel.
Model 117, 118, 129, 140, 156, 164, 166, 167, 170, 171, 172, 176, 177, 190, 197, 202, 203, 204, 207, 208, 209, 210, 211, 212, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 230, 231, 240, 242, 246, 247, 251, 292, 415, 420, 447, 448, 636, 638, 639
There are two elevated sections (arrow) on the connector of the brake hose that lock the brake hose into the multi-point profile of the holder.
Ensure that the retaining spring (1) is correctly installed.
Model 164, 166, 251, 292
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.
Model 164, 166, 251, 292
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.
Model 164, 166, 251, 292
Where applicable the brake hose may be slightly twisted within itself during the mounting process, to ensure that the minimum distances are adhered to. A minimum distance of 15 mm from other axle components must be guaranteed in all driving situations.
