Mav:

Dremel tool works great for grinding the pins off a link. They only need to have the swaged bit in front of the face ground off.

You need a special tool to push the pins out of a link, and you need it to swage the new link in place as the last step. Don't use screw links or clipped "master links" as a permanent installation -- several posters on this forum have had chains break for using these temporary links permanently. Very expensive, as you will definitely bend the rods in a 603.

A breaker bar or standard 1/2 ratchet handle is sufficient to rotate the engine by hand -- the compression leaks out past the rings when you rotate the engine as slowly as you do by hand -- the Volvo, which has higher compression, turns almost as easily as my sister's gas Volvo. If it gets stiff, just wait a few seconds. You can also pull the injectors if you want. I'd leave the glowplugs in a 603 -- way to difficult to get in and out!

You wouldn't want a Haynes, anyway, not all that good. I vastly prefer the MB manual.
