Hi Sean,
Great post, I am just about to try this job myself, can I take you up on your offer to Rupak please.
'Hi Rupak
In general, the job is not difficult. When you look at your newly bought spheres, you should be able to figure out what is necessary to remove for replacement.
I have a Mercedes technical note for hydraulic sphere removal and installation in hand. Please let me know your email address so that I can send it (together with some photos) over to you for your reading.'
I have sent a pm with my email address.
Many thanks
Phil
Hi Phil
Have sent you the technical note and some photos.
One of the photos shows a yellow label on the hydraulic fluid reservoir cap. It lists the code of the hydraulic fluid: 0019892003. My understanding is that it is synthetic oil, not mineral. And you can get it from dealer or GSF. Be careful when you buy the fluid. My experience with GSF is that there is another kind of hydraulic fluid with similar code; their bottle shape and bottle colour are the same as well. GSF gave me two different types of fluid and I did not notice until I opened and poured half the second bottle in.
Hope all these help.
Regards
Sean
