How do you replace a Mercedes front axle?
Park vehicle on level ground and apply the parking brake to prevent vehicle movement. Break loose the lug nuts but do not remove them yet. While the car is still on the ground, remove the center cap with the Mercedes-Benz logo from the wheel. This will expose the center axle shaft bolt. (Shown with the wheel removed.)
Can you break the center axle bolt off a Mercedes Benz?
If you can’t break loose the center axle bolt, remember that you need to turn the bolt counterclockwise to remove it. It is not recommended to remove the axle bolt while the wheel is off, as this can put too much strain on the transmission and transfer case. Suspension parts are exposed to dirt, salt, water, and other contaminants.
Is it OK to unbolt front CV axle?
Suspension parts are exposed to dirt, salt, water, and other contaminants. This means that bolts that hold them together might be corroded and extremely heavy to unbolt. It is good to spray them with penetrating oil and leave it for 15-30 minutes before trying to unlock them.
