I intend to carry out some work on my friends W reg A140, which will neccesitate according to him (he is over 65 -we live over 60 miles apart) removing the front wheel/brake assembly holding bolts. (2 off) (suspension spring replacement being undertaken.)
Do MB recommend officially recommend replacing these bolts, or can they be used again?
He is unsure how they hold on - nyloc, blue locktite or other means - and I want to ensure that I have the right equipment here when he comes over to stay for his 3 days holiday.
I was always taught to replace nyloc nuts (if fitted) in all cases and in some cases to use catelled nuts with pins as an alternative.
I would prefer to know:
a) the offical line and
b) DIY mechanics views if different.
Thanking you for your help and I apologise if posted in the wring section as I am a first time user here
