Here's another pictorial of something probably to basic to post, but what the heck.
If you've done it a million times, you don't need to waste your time viewing.
Again, it's geared for the novice DIY'r.
!!!PLEASE NOTE THE INCORRECT TORQUE VALUE FOR THE DRAIN PLUG> IT SHOULD BE 50 Nm FOR BOTH PLUGS!!!!
Well, I got tired of crawling around like a rodent, so I redid the whole enchillada.
The lift is a godsend.
The epoxy floor is even better. You can spill ANYTHING on it and it just wipes up.
You're always welcome to swing by.

To firstbenzo.... no crush washer present. The WIS specifies cleaning the bolt with a special Locktight Cleanser, then coating the first 3 threads with Optiseal. Speaking with the Benz dealer here, they don't have the material. I've called all around, and I can't track it down.
With the G's, I change the drivetrain oil at much more frequent intervals than specified, as I do with the sedans. I don't get the whole sealing the plug thing.
To ProV1x, I have some more photos at home. I'll post later.
Saw in your location "S. Texas". Went to HS in Victoria @ St. Joe Class '85. Anyway thanks for the tips and also sharing the photos, nice setup youv'e got there, hope it give you many years of use! Happy Holidays.
