	Risk of accident  when commissioning the vehicle due to a lack of braking effect when the service brake is operated for the first time after repair work.	Before starting the engine, actuate brake pedal several times until pressure is built up and maintained in the brake system.	AS42.50-Z-0002-01A
	Risk of injury.  Skin or eye injuries may result when handling hot or glowing objects.	Wear protective gloves, protective clothing and safety glasses, if necessary.	AS00.00-Z-0002-01A
	Risk of poisoning  from swallowing brake fluid. Risk of injury  from skin and eye contact with brake fluid	Only pour brake fluid into suitable and appropriately marked containers. Wear protective clothing and eye protection when handling brake fluid.	AS42.50-Z-0001-01A

	Remove/install
1	Open service flap above expansion reservoir for brake fluid.
2	Clean area around cap on brake fluid expansion reservoir.	Assembly cleaner	*BR00.45-Z-1028-04A
3	Unscrew cap on brake fluid expansion reservoir and suction off some brake fluid.	This prevents the expansion reservoir overflowing when the brake piston is pushed back.
4	Remove front wheels.		AR40.10-P-1102A
5	Expose electric line of front right brakepad wear sensor and disconnect electrical connector.	Pay attention to the routing of the electric line of the right front brakepad wear sensor.
6	Press back brake pistons slightly using pusher tool.	Position pusher tool at the elevations (arrows) of the brake pads (2). Resetting device	Fig 2
7	Remove screws (5). Notes on threaded connections fastened using a tightening angle-based tightening process		AH00.00-P-0020-01A
		Replace screw/bolts (5).

8	Unhook brake hose (6) from holder at steering knuckle and suspension strut.
9	Remove brake caliper (1) from wheel carrier and secure it free of tension to vehicle with lines connected.	Do not subject brake hose (6) and electric line to tension and do not kink them. The brake hose (6) and the electric line may otherwise be damaged.
10	Press brake pads (2) against force of retaining springs (3) off screw bolts (4) and remove from brake caliper (1).	Do not unfasten or remove screw bolts (4) Do not apply brake paste or lubricants to brake pads (2) or brake calipers (1). Only install brake pads (2) approved by Mercedes-Benz as a set.
	Check
11	Check condition of retaining springs (3) and check for damage.	If there is a problem, ↓ Replace retaining springs (3).
12	Check brake pads (2) for wear and check their condition.

		Model 213 with code B07 (AMG - ceramic brake system) except code B06 (Silver brake calipers) except code U70 (red-painted brake callipers) 6-piston fixed-caliper brake If there is damage or excessive wear. ↓ Replace brake pads (2). Replace brake pads (2) as a set only.	AP42.10-P-4252E
13	Check brake disks on front axle for damage. Notes on evaluating brake disks		AH42.10-P-9406-07RQ
		If there is damage. ↓ Replace brake disks and brake pads (2) in sets.	AR42.10-P-0220EWE
14.1	Check brake disks for wear.	Check brake disks for wear using wear indicators.
			AP42.10-P-4258-02RQ
		Parts ordering notes:  Part number: A 197 001 77 99 Designation: Test film Quantity: as required If there is a problem, ↓ Replace brake disks and brake pads (2) in sets.	AR42.10-P-0220EWE
	Risk of injury  to skin and eyes from laser beams	Never look directly into the laser beam. Do not attempt to suppress natural reflex of closing the eyelids.	AS30.30-Z-0001-01A
14.2	Check brake disks for wear.	Avoid direct skin contact with the laser beam. If damage to the eye is suspected, consult an eye specialist immediately. Checking brake disks for wear using Carboteq measurement method.	AR42.10-P-0264-01RG
		If there is a problem, ↓ Replace brake disks and brake pads (2) in sets.	AR42.10-P-0220EWE
15	Check brake caliper (1) and dust boots of brake piston for leak tightness and damage.	If there is a problem, ↓ Replace brake caliper (1).	AR42.10-P-0070LWC
16	Press back brake pistons with pusher tool.	Attach pusher tool onto brake piston. Secure remaining brake pistons using two wedges against slipping out.
		Wedge	Fig 3
		Resetting device	Fig 2
		If the brake pistons can only be moved sluggishly, ↓ Replace brake caliper (1).	AR42.10-P-0070LWC
	Clean
17	Clean contact surfaces of brake pads (2) on brake caliper (1) and on brake pistons.	Do not use sharp-edged or pointed objects. Otherwise, the brake caliper (1) or the dust boots of the brake pistons may be damaged. Assembly cleaner	*BR00.45-Z-1028-04A
18	Pull front right brakepad wear sensor out of backing plate of brakepad (2).	When replacing the brake pads (2) or replacing the front right brakepad wear sensor. Pay attention to the installation location of the right front brakepad wear sensor.
19	Install in the reverse order.
20	Operate brake pedal several times until the brake pads (2) make contact with the brake disks.	Firm resistance should be noticeable at the brake pedal.
	Check
21	Check/correct brake fluid level in expansion reservoir.
