Am I understanding this correctly? Next time I'm in a junkyard with one I can screw around with it, but the MB parts diagrams are pretty unclear and there isn't much FSM documentation on the ALDA.
Yes, yes, and yes. Make sure you take to the junkyard a 24mm wrench and a 27mm wrench. Sometimes they are a pain to remove.

See this for details. OM603 ALDA removal instructions
