Brake pad replacement 2003 ML270 CDi

[fuzzer]

Glad it worked out OK. In answer to 2 problems you had.
1. Removing brake fluid from reservoir.
use a turkey baster from any good cookshop see picture.
2. getting wheels back on.
have a look in your tool kit for an item like the picture. its an alignment tool to help putting your wheel back on. screw it into a wheel bolt hole temporarily till you get the other bolts done up then remove and replace with last wheel bolt.
I have to confess that after 10+ years of merc ownership I only twigged what this was for recently

Ive collected one from my last few cars. 3 is the perfect number of them in a triangle shape. Makes getting the wheel on a skoosh
