Well, who has access to the service bulletins? Also, I doubt if Mercedes has expectations of the car owners working on their own axles other than removing and re-installing.

Using stretchy boots over the axle cans is not in the Mercedes factory manual and beyond a hydraulic press who has used the actual Mercedes can cutting tools and the factory can crimp tools when they re-booted axles?

It is already known that the German language printed factory service manuals have more information in them compared to the English language versions of the printed manuals.

And I know for a fact the older manual on CDs had less information compared to what is in the English language printed manuals.

Obviously is nothing wrong with telling someone the factory authorized methods.
