Just a hint for removing the guide rails..... the pins are pressed into the head/block. MB says to use a slide hammer....this tool, at least I found here is pricey. My solution? I went to the local hardware store, grabbed a m6x1.0x 60 bolt, 5 or so fender washers and a nut. Thread the nut onto the bolt, place the fender washers below that, and then stick the bolt through a socked. I used a socket with a 1.5 to 2 inch depth. Thread the bolt into the guide rail pin and gently snug. Then using two wrenches, hold the head of the bolt in place while threading the nut towards the washers and socket. It will have resistance but will pull that pin right out. And all for a few dollars!
