Hi guys,

I am a newbie here. Just got the 99 ml430. So far, I love it.
I would like to change the serentine belt on it and replace the fuel filter.
Can anyone point me to the right direction? Is there a DIY post that I can use?

Thanks in advance,

-Nat

i have some work instructions for each item that you need, they are a little big to post here, send me an email and i will send them to you.

Thanks the info Ray, they are very useful.

While I am trying to remove the tire to work on the fuel filter, I was not able to remove the tire after all the nuts had been removed. Is there a special trick
to remove it? I try to hit the tire couple times but had no luck.

Cheer,

-Nat

screw in one lug bolt a little bit, and kick the wheel from the inside, this should break it loose

A safer and easier way to break the wheel loose from the hub is to use the vehicle weight. I raise the wheel with a jack and loosen each wheel lug a few turns. I then lower the vehicle, letting the weight of it break loose the wheel. Works every time.

i find that to be the complete opposite of safe, i think that is an irresponsible post and should be ignored. i am sure others will concur.
