They don't show the hydraulic lines' connections to the steering box (which is what I thought you said you found). http://www.w124performance.com/images/M119/PS_pumps/standard_pump/mounting_bolts2_rear.jpg says, "These are the two 6mm socket-head bolts which hold the pump to the bracket. It helps to remove the plastic air duct to the motor mount for better access and visibility. These bolts are easier to remove than the bolts which fasten the bracket to the engine block." I agree with removing the plastic air duct. In fact, removing it is mandatory. I found removing the bolts that hold the bracket to the block to be much easier than removing the ones that hold the pump to the bracket, however. http://www.w124performance.com/images/M119/PS_pumps/standard_pump/mounting_bolts4_rear.jpg says, "These are two of the three bolts which fasten the bracket to the engine block. The third bolt is at the bottom center." This is wrong. the third bolt is at the far right of the bracket casting and is a through-hole. This bolt goes into the engine block from the front. The two, threaded bolt holes with fingers pointing at them are the ones into which bolts thread from the rear. The stud at the bottom fastens the hydraulic fluid return line that plugs into the hole up on the cannister. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
