I believe I have seen in my 240D manual that the parking brake is adjusted
by taking off the hub cap/s
and removing one of the wheel bolts and finally using a screwdriver through
the hole to make the adjustment.

Is it the same for the 300E and is the wheel bolt marked?

Thanks

I believe that it is pretty much the same for most all of the Mercedes.
Here's a snippet from a previous post on Mercedesshop.com:

HTH,
