Honestly, pulling the turbo and manifolds on a 617 isn't that bad. You'll be surprised how easy the nuts and bolts come off after 25+ years. The only ones that are a PITA are the turbo supports under the manifold and against the block. They're easier to access with the car on a lift by coming in underneath but not all of us have that ability.
These cars cost $30k new because Mercedes used quality fasteners made from quality material.
