Next question: How on earth do you get those 2 back bolts started when you
put humpty back together??
I finally got the pump out. What a pain. Sure makes me appreciate a
110/111 and even a 123 240D! It is a nifty design, before they hang on the
intake manifold and all the accessories. I hope I never have to do this again!

Danke, Herr Frederick
I was guessing it would be a long job because when i was working on the
Tandem PS pump i didn't see a way to get the bracket off without first
taking the pump out first. Just taking out the tandem pump I thought was a
bear. (compared to OM 621/616 engines)
That is the type of BTDT info I was looking for!
I have started the disassembly. I am going to take the radiator out also,
because I want to flush the system and having the radiator our will make
access easier.
