First time under the Benz...success!
Today was my first day working under my '95 E300D since its purchase in late January. My work wasn't anything too complicated. I replaced my front flex disc, changed fluids, and filters.
I was dreading the flex disc replacement after reading some posts here and my experience with other vehicles. The job really wasn't bad at all. Having access to a lift makes a huge difference in getting at what you are repairing. Nevertheless, I still was pleased at the accessibility of the fasteners holding the flex disc in place. I am very impressed with the overall design and ease of maintenance of the Mercedes. I have never seen a car like it. I know that I am preaching to the choir, but I am now a Mercedes believer. I don't know what took me so long to get to this point.

Did you replace the rear flex disk as well?
But, good job, and think of all the money to be saved and satisfaction of a job well done when you DIY!

No, but I checked rear disc out really well. I doesn't look very old and it feels good and tight. My brother was snooping around the rear axle while I was working up front and it must have passed his test, too. The rear flex disc looks like an easy job when the time comes.
