replacing ml320 rear shock/spring
 

I purchased the rear shock/spring from MB dealer, called Phil but he sold out all the stocks. Can someone showed me how to gain access to the top three bolts? Is there step by step procedure with pictures available in any of the forums? I intend to do it this weekend.

take the wheel off, remove the wheel liner. you will have access to the top three bolts. I used a small racheting box-end wrench to remove the bolts. Some will tell you to remove the spare tire carrier but it is not necessary.

lots of info on this job if you search.

Here's the link to the thread I posted my problems in. (My problems were related to swapping the coil spring.)

ML320 rear shock/spring replacement
 

Thank you for the link. I am going to purchase 13mm offset box wrench from Sears. How long did you spend to replace both shock/spring assemblies?
