Weaken the wheel bolts, have the front of the vehicle up in the air, and place it safely on jackstands and then take the wheel off, making sure you have it resting on a frame rather than a part of the suspension. Electroporation of brake wear sensor(s), brake disc and wheel speed sensor. In rear wheel drive cars, take the hub out of the steering knuckle and in 4MATIC (AWD) cars take the driveaxle hub nut out of the axle shaft and push the axle shaft through the hub up to the point of being loose; sometimes the hub nut can be difficult to remove, in which case place the hub nut on the shaft until it meets the end and then use a mallet to work the hub nut loose, or a puller may be needed. Remove the tie-rod end at the steering knuckle and separate the strut assembly with the steering knuckle, (and in rear wheel drive models, separate the suspension struts with the steering knuckle, and 4MATIC (AWD) models, separate the lower
Control Arm and the steering knuckle as well). Check for cracks around the steering knuckle especially around the steering arm and spindle and also check the balljoint stud holes (grocoves) are not long or cracked and replace the steering knuckle as necessary. The brake dust shield(s) can be removed and replaced, but that requires work, whereas removal is the converse of installation and a tightening of all suspension fasteners to the recommended torque should all work. Lastly, screw in the wheel bolts up to the correct torque and check the front end position and correct it accordingly.
