Ryan,
I tried to send an e-mail to you earlier, but not sure if it went out. If bolts are not seized, this is not a big job. If you’re worried about fluids in the dorm parking lot, you don't have to pull the radiator unless you have to get in there with a drill for broken/stripped bolts. I did this the other night on my 300SD to replace the front oil seal. Simple tools, simple job, it could be done in the breakdown lane of the interstate if you had all the stuff with you and a little good luck. E-mail me direct at
[email protected] and we can trade phone numbers if you want to discuss some of the details. I may be a little hard to catch today. If you plan to drive it three hundred miles just to fix it yourself there, you are making no sense.
