Re: [MBZ] 91 560SEL suspension pump
I think you can do it. Most people would find it not worthwhile to put a kit in. I don't remember the entire sequence, but on a vickers pump you unscrew each of the 4 pumps for the suspension using a pin wrench (spanner), then the rest comes apart with circlips. Rusty will need all the numbers on the pump to get you the right seal kit. You may want a spare in case you bung up the shaft seal. At 07:40 AM 1/2/2007, you wrote: Thanks!

[MBZ] 91 560SEL suspension pump
I was looking under the 560SEL and notice what appears to be suspension oil leaking from near front of engine. It appears to be coming from the suspension pump, I was wondering if this was a common failure and if they make a repair kit? Thanks Trampas
