If you decide to do it yourself, the most important thing to remember is to take your time and exercise extreme patience. There is significantly less room to work compared to a sedan (500E or 190E-16V) and it is easy to strip the fine threads on the metal compression fittings. When I did mine about a year ago (and I've done the job on both my 500E and 16V) I messed up one of the fittings on the right side...it took almost 3 weeks to get the ($10) part from Germany!
