Hello:
I have spent several hours searching the site for instructions, a diagram, or any other DIY assistance for replacing a rear ABC strut on a 2001 S600.
I have not been able to find anything at all, The disassembly of the lower components are very straightforward, but I have mnot a clue as to how the top of the strut detaches.
Also, are ther any specific instructions on preparation for potential high pressure fluid that anyone knows of? I will, of course, have containers and cloth rags ready, and be undoing connections slowly, but there is nothing in writing or diagrams that I find as to specifics or preparation. Special bleeding procedures after??
Any and all comments, suggestions, photos, diagrams or, any direction to an appropriate website would be very much appreciated.
BTW, I have found rebuilt, lifetime guaranteed struts for $545. which is approx. 1/3 the cost of new MB. That was really good news for me, on a budget.
Thanks much,
Tom
