I'm starting to experience the dreaded sticking ignition problem on my '04 Crossfire. (For those of you who don't already know, the Crossfire is a re-badged '00 SLK320 with funky body work) I already ordered a replacement unit from my Chrysler dealer but plan on doing the swap myself.

I found a whole bunch of articled dealing with the tumbler replacement, but nothing specific to the R170. So my question is this: Is replacing the tumbler on the SLK similar to the other procedures listed here or is it a completely different animal?

Thanks much,

Bob...
