I've got the engine mounts off and the engine jacked up in the engine bay....I changed the oil filter for the first time (I'm new to MB's) and was having a hard time getting the lid past a heater hose at the firewall.....after I finished with the filter swap...I was thinking Huh, that was unusually difficult for what should be easy.....
Then I realized it would probably be alot easier if the engine weren't jacked up - DOH!!!
