Guys please tell me where and how to disconnect the cable. I got the headliner out no problem 6 clips in front and out through the top. I located motor in trunk, there is 2 metal rods attached. The gear was PACKED full of rust to the point the teeth warped. Paid $400 with 171,000 miles. Super strong, quick (for a diesel) blows away Power strokes, Cummings from a dead stop on take off. It has it issues, but nothing to do with motor or trans or rear end.sun roof seals, it rained in Florida the other day and had a gallon of water in the headliner above the back seat. How do I take this apart? Mercedes source doesn't show removal for a 85 300D. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
