However the rubber hose going to the air mass meter plate is hard to get to ....

I am still trying..

Thanks and enjoy it.
On my '93 190E 2.3, I remove the top ICV hose first, the connector, then I can reach under the front of the air mass meter and disconnect the hose, then remove the ICV with the bottom hose still connected. Small hands help.
