Wellll maybe, with lots of help from the list. Compared to other
vehicles, the M-B is very maintenance friendly. :)

Well, aren't I supposed to be able to rebuild my MB from the ground up
with
that nice little rollup took kit that they put in the trunk?

Just the opposite of GM (and others) fascination with making things
complex was an old Lister-Blackstone diesel that I worked on years ago.
It took two wrenches to disassemble the whole engine. All the head
bolts, rod bolts, and main bearing nuts were 1.5 inch; everything else
was 3/4 inch. What a clever idea--much beyond anything our people could
ever dream up. The two wrenches came with the engine too.
