Its not that bad, but it helps to have the official MB hose, and the
gasket for the thermostat housing to the block. (Or I used to seal
it up again with whatever was left of the gasket and permatex blue
silicon.) Never had one leak after...
The trick is to start the hose on the WP, then slide in the the
thermo housing, start it on that then shove it together. Soap on
the inside of the hose, or WD40 helps too. I don't think it ever
took me more than an hour including putting the radiator hose back on
and clamping everything down.
I could do it in a lot less than that if it was a contest.
