BTDT, with the left front on my '95 E300D, due to a deer hit. This is not a job you need a manual for. Just get in there and start unscrewing bolts. I think the trickiest ones are where you open the door, just due to wrench/socket access. When I reassembled mine I left one off there, no big deal. Some bolts under the fender are a bit fiddly, but overall this is not a big deal.

Remove the headlight assembly, and the turn indicator lamp ass'y. The turn indicator lamp ass'y is held in by a simple sort of springy bit on the inside of the fender, which might not be obvious until you see how it works. Actually, now that I think of it, I think you can pull the fender without taking out the turn signal (you'll have to unplug it, obviously), but it's easier to remove without it in place.

Anyway, if you've got any mechanical skill you can do this in a couple hours, easy.

Rgds,
