Yea.. i've run into an activated reservist out here that owns an import shop on mainland. He suggested 20" extension and a swivel.

"You will need to remove the clutch to get to the rest of the stuff, but you do not need to remove the PS pump just pull the tennsioner the last bolt is below the manifold best to remove the bracket holding on the oil dip stick support and go down through that hole with a 13mm bow end, the lower bolt is a 6mm allen use a 20" extenstion and a swivel ."


It looked pretty straight foreward to me, just seemed that it went against all the other engineering of the car. THe rest seemed so cut and dry. It cant be all like that.

I've sinced gotten the CD version of the MB manual, of course it's poorly engineered its self. I had to take all the PDFs and put them togeher and convert them to text using an Optical Character Recognition program (comes with acrobat pro). Now i can just type "water pump" and get the right pages. Like i said before my paper manual says "remove 4 bolts holding pump to engine"
