I'm doing this job now. Yes, I did a search and printed out some of the posts. All I can say, this job is a real PITA!
So far, I've got the radiator out, fan blades off and serp belt off. So far, I can't get to the lower front bolt. I guess I'll have to take the tensioner off as well.
Which reminds me, if anything could be more complex that the serp belt tensioner, I can't imagine.
I got some more tools last night, 1/4" stuff, and I'll give it a stab in the morning.
BTW, it's really cold this week. Luckily, my 300SE is my toy.
I e-mailed Mr. Sixto yesterday and he kindly gave me some advice.
I also noticed the cap, rotor and wires need to be replaced.
I'm spending too much money on this car already.
