On my older Mercedes that type plug had a lock collar that needed to be
rotated to release the plug?

You already pulled the plug on drivers side middle? And the other one is at
the back?

I'm fixing to pull the engine/tranny in this 420SEL donor, I pulled off on
electrical connection (front one) on the tranny, there is another one,
bigger, behind it, that is a bugger to get at and pull off. Is there some
kind of clip or screw or something holding it on, or will this one just
pull off too? Any suggestions on it? Not much room to pry on it.
I got all the front flex disk bolts off but one, which I need to rotate
the shaft before I can get at it, but the rear wheels are on the ground so
I will need to get that up, or disconnect the rear too. It was
interesting that this thing has been sitting a year or more, but the flex
disks look fairly new, proper MB parts too. I guess they will be good to
keep around.
I cut out all the front of the frame so I can slide the engine right out,
I might just lift it up a bit and roll the car out from under it once I
get the driveshaft and connector disconnected. I have the front wheels on
ramps now, if I roll it back that would drop the car down and leave the
engine up a bit, I'll figure it out. The $20 HF sawzall went right
through that metal like butter, it is pretty soft steel.
On another note, that saw is still going strong after like 3 years of
abuse, definitely got my money's worth on that thing.
