Mercedes Vito - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Vito W638, MK 1 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Shock absorbers
Operation: How to replace the rear shock absorber in a Mercedes Vito 1

In this video tutorial we can see how it is possible to replace the rear shock absorber in a Mercedes Vito 1, following some simple steps: Use a socket wrench size 17 to loosen the wheel bolts, before lifting the vehicle. Lift the vehicle with a jack and put on safety stands; completely unscrew the wheel bolts and remove the wheel. Use a hydraulic transmission jack to support the rear suspension cross member. Clean the damper fasteners with a wire brush and then use the WD-40 sprayer. Use a 21 socket wrench to screw in the lower shock mount and then use a crowbar and tap wrench; remove the fixing bolts and disassemble the lower part of the shock absorber, use the crowbar. Now we need to lower the jack for hydraulic transmission by 10-15 cm. Unscrew the upper shock absorber fastener with a size 21 socket wrench (to avoid accidents you must hold the shock firmly when loosening the bolts). Remove the shock absorber, before installation; the shock absorber must be manually bled 3-5 times; place the shock absorber in the wheel arch and secure it. When screwing in the bolts the shock absorber must be held firmly. Reassemble the parts in reverse order.
