Parts Information





Note:
The procedure described below may also be applied to accident repairs of C 36 AMG vehicles.

Front fenders

1. Remove front and rear wheels.

! WARNING!
If an original equipment alloy wheel is going to be retained as the spare wheel, five of the original wheel bolts must be kept with the spare wheel.





2. The inside edge of the front fenders must be rebent to an angle of 100° over the complete wheel cutout (A, Figure 2) to accommodate the wider wheels and tires (bend lip so that rolled lip measures 5 mm).

3. Grind off any excess PVC underbody protection before rebending the fender lip.

4. Use a hot air gun to carefully heat up the outer edge of the fender to 158 - 176 °F (70 - 80 °C).

Note:
Do not overheat paint while applying heat.

5. The fender lip is reworked over the entire area (A, Figure 2) in several stages. A plastic hammer must be used to avoid damaging the paint.

Note:
Repair any damage to paint or underbody protection.

6. The tapered edges of the fender lip (in area A) should be checked for adequate clearance and reworked, if necessary.

7. Install new wheel/tire combination.

WARNING
Only the M12 x 1.5 x 40 mm spherical wheel bolts supplied with the rims are to be used.

8. Evenly tighten wheel bolts to 110 Nm.

! WARNING!
AMG light alloy wheel bolts must be retightened after 60 - 300 miles (100 - 500 km). Tightening torque: 110 Nm.
