Hey Guys:

Don't bother with a tool. Just reach up in the back and push it out. Takes about 2 minutes to get to it by removing 3 bolts on underpanel.
I did it twice the other night on my 2nd MB. The first time I forgot to plug in the tach. What a bummer.....impatience always gets me.
Might have to do it again as I just bought a 240d to replace Volvo with.

Don
