Brake Fluid Replacement Procedure
Anybody got a procedure for doing this on the V167? Has anybody done it?
I have the 331.0 MB fluid ready to go any I'm wondering if a pressure bleeder is a must or can it be done with vacuum at the wheels, or even the old fashioned 2-person pedal push method.
Thank you.

The procedure is fairly standard on most vehicles. I used the cannister method when I did the brake service about 6 months ago. I posted some notes on the forum at https://mbworld.org/forums/g-class-w...d-service.html

Use the DIY in my sig. Very easy procedure for all German cars.

I quit doing the vacuum method years ago, because too often it doesn't bleed properly. The vacuum "deconsolidates" air bubbles, making them cling to interior surfaces, instead of consolidating them, pumping them out as bigger bubbles.
In other words, it works okay if you don't have any air in the lines. But if you do, you need a pressure bleeder to do a complete job.

The whole process is easier with pressure than with vacuum in most cases. And more reliable.
