Was able to get the old one off without taking the wheel off - had to remove 4 push pin clips and stick my hand inside the wheel well by pulling back the fender liner - you cannot get to it from the inside as I was hoping for on our 2019 glc amg 43 suv but use a mirror and look up inside and pull the lever down to release the door - don t try to pry it open - it will break the door off and cost you more $$$
