Cool

have fun!i just did my 300te.what a knuckle bustin dirty job.most of the work is done underneath the car.each accumulater has 3 10mm fasteners which will probably breakoff so be ready with new ones.the hydraulic lines require an 11mm brake line wrench.get the longest one available as the working room is tight.dont bother trying to remove the lines from the level valve unless you plan to replace it.the valve body is made of aluminum the lines are steel .chances are they will be inseperable.the banjo bolt connection on each accum will require a hex key to remove.this system is pressurised so be careful.i assume you will be refilling with new oil and you will need to bleed the system.best way to do this is take your biggest best friends put them in the back seat and go for a ride
