I just realized - the key to R&R on the M119 MAF is a new boot and a 1/4” 7mm socket on a long extension with a wobble. Or, if you want the purpose-built tool that makes it easy-peasy (to tighten the clamps, that is) get one of the 7mm sockets on a long springy extension that can flex. Those make it really easy.
For goodness' sake, whatever you do, don’t get the throttle spring unhooked at the front on the intake manifold. I had to do that with a boroscope. -D > On Feb 11, 2024, at 3:31 PM, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > I got the “new” ETA that was in the trunk of the car (eBay special from the > PO) on the car maybe 2-3 weeks ago.
