I would start by removing the ground cable, then the air cleaner assy. CAUTION: Remove the ground cable to the negative terminal of the battery first! Yes, Craig, I was thinking I should restate my instruction to remove the ground cable, which in my mind is the negative ground cable at the battery. In addition, do not forget to replace the engine to frame grounding cable, which often uses one of the starter bolts at the engine end. You can smoke a lot of small wires trying to start the engine without this connecting cable, which may or may not use the starter bolt. NOTE: A little electrical 101--you always disconnect the negative cable first because it is a chassis ground and should your wrench contact the metal of the chassis while touching the negative bolt, no sparks will occur. Many a wrench has been sacrificed to the Gods of Potential Energy by swinging on the positive bolt first! Conversely, when hooking up both posts of a battery, you would hook the positive up first since a careless touch will be of no consequence if the negative is not hooked up yet Thanks, Jim Friesen Phoenix AZ 79 300SD, 264 K miles 98 ML 320, 152 K miles ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
