Thanks for the offer Marty and Scott...let me get organised and I might take you up on it.

Here is a laugh! I contacted the local MB dealer parts/service department to see if they had the socket to either rent, loan or buy. I explained to them I just needed it to change the O rings in IP delivery valves..they said they had to call me back. When I returned from an appointment there was a lengthy message from the parts department saying that they would not recommend me doing it...they don't even change the O rings themselves....something to the effect that something internal could happen??? They have been sending the leaky IPs to an Injector pump company in Rhode Island.

What a bunch of morons! They are just trying to milk this leak problem for all its worth!
