Hello everyone
Anyone knows if there is a way to adjust the steering box without taking of the intake manifold
It's a 1978 280ce

I made myself special steering gearbox wrenches for many of the 1970's gasoline MB.
They allowed me to adjust from under the car, on a hoist.
Most of the wrenches have been stolen or ruined by coworkers.

It's seems almost impossible

Even with my wrenches it was a two person hour job.
