The two I replaced both had a hex at the bottom near the threads. I used a crows-foot wrench on an extension with a ratchet. But I heard someone (maybe the Mercedessource guy) mention the vice grip approach ... so maybe some came without the hex?

Can't figure out how to remove it. The Bosch replacement pump has an embedded hex nut in the screw threads so installation won't be a problem. I don't see any obvious way to remove the old pump other than with a vice grip, which doesn't seem quite appropriate for a Mercedes. _______________________________________ 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 _______________________________________ 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
