REMOVING Remove     
DANGER 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
DANGER Risk of explosion  caused by welding or soldering work on closed air conditioning system. Risk of poisoning  caused by inhaling overheated refrigerant vapors. Risk of injury  to skin and eyes caused by contact with liquid refrigerant. Do not perform welding work on or near a closed air conditioning system. No smoking or open flames. Wear safety glasses and protective gloves. Work only in well ventilated areas. Carry out repair work on the air conditioning system circuit only after the system has been drained. AS83.00-Z-0001-01A
DANGER Risk of death  caused by vehicle slipping or toppling off of the lifting platform. Align vehicle between vehicle lift columns and position the four support plates at the vehicle lift support points specified by the vehicle manufacturer. AS00.00-Z-0010-01A

4 Unscrew cap of hydraulic fluid reservoir for brake fluid (2) and extract brake fluid from hydraulic fluid reservoir for brake fluid (2)    
5 Raise vehicle with vehicle lift    
6 Remove underfloor panels    
7 Remove retainer (6) from master brake cylinder (5)    
8 Detach brake lines (8) from master brake cylinder (5) IMPORTANT Collect brake fluid in a suitable container. Seal connections using suitable plugs.  
9 Release brake lines (8) from brackets (9) on underfloor    
10 Cut through brake lines (8) at suitable position (arrow C) and remove loose sections of brake lines (8) Only if a new hydraulic fluid reservoir for brake fluid (2) is to be installed.  
11 Lower vehicle with vehicle lift    
12 Remove right headlamp unit Model 451.3 (except 451.390/392), 451.4 (except 451.490/492) with code 494 (US version) AR82.10-P-4730MCU
13 Unscrew nut (11) Model 451.390/392/490/492 with code 494 (US version)  
14 Disconnect refrigerant pressure line (13) and refrigerant line between capacitor and expansion valves (12) from the capacitor Model 451.390/392/490/492 with code 494 (US version)
NOTES Use suitable stop plugs to seal the refrigerant pressure line (13), the refrigerant line between the condenser and expansion valves (12) and the connections to the condenser. Otherwise penetrating dirt and moisture will damage components that are connected to the refrigerant circuit.
