Front Door Disassembly Instructions

Model: Mercedes Classe M W163 - Years 1997-2005
Part: Car door

Disassembling the front door is relatively straightforward. If the vehicle is destined for scrapping and you are recovering some parts, you can be a bit more lenient with precautions during disassembly. Start by disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery. Remove the front wing to gain more working space for unscrewing the hinge fixing pins. Disconnect the connector from the door, remove the linkage, and finally unscrew the hinge fixing pins to complete the disassembly.
