don't forget this difference between MB and "the american way"...
american cars use a castle nut with only a few notches in them... ya gots to loosen the nut until the cotter pin lines up with the notch in the castle nut...
with MB you adjust the nut to the proper end play, and then LOCK IT IN THAT POSITION EXACTLY. my guess is all american way nuts are really set very loose, and MB get's it JUST RIGHT.
there is no way to do it "the american way" on an MB...
