I can get the 3 speed nuts off to replace the pod but it looks like the rivet holding the rod needs to be removed since the new pod does not have the rod attached. That one is going to be tuff while it is in place both to remove and to replace.

Have you done a replacement on this pod? If so how did you go about doing it?

Thanks again.

I have gone this on both my 560SL's But I took the dash out to do other vacume servos inside the case.

You can grind off the rivet and put a small bolt and lock nut in place. Do a search on center vents and you will get alot of information. Also do a search on the title "Will Sadie ever run again"

Good luck
