Harry, thanks for your input. I've been thinking about doing this two jobs myself for awhile but can't find any article in the DIY section.

BTW, do you know if location of the power steering fluid hose is the same for a 92 300E. Can we not have the front wheels lifted but start the car and turn the steering to drive out the old fluid?

Regarding the fuel hose, i remember reading a thread somewhere that you can plug it with a screw scotch-taped to about the size of the hose. Which side of the car you'd lifted to work on the filter?? Pls advise. Thanks.
