I did the job myself on 114/280 at my driveway in warm weather.... its a 10mm allen. Was seriously thinkin of cutting hole in tranny tunnel to acces the bolt, but somehow managed to get it loose and then use fingers to take it out. Hell, for all i know there is existing access window through the tranny tunnel already in the car.

This was awhile ago, but can remember takin off the easy lower bolt first... and then rocking the collar to loosen the difficult top allen bolt even miniscule amount. Btw, if you dont have allen wrench the correct size then regular 10mm bolt can be adapted to act as allen wrench.

Hey Winterfjord, we dont get enough people posting here from Europe!! Am thinkin you guys see the finest MB cars, stuff we never get in the USA like Gertrag 5 spd versions.
