W124 Wing replacement

[LostThePlot]

Folks,

Looking at the W124, it seems to me that the removal of the wing SHOULD be fairly straightforward. However has anyone done it, and if so, are there any cunning bolts either at the bottom of the wong, or behind the bumper that need to be loosened off also?

I presume the Haynes manual doesn;t cover this....

TIA

had mine replaced a few months ago as the rust was appearing.

they are bolt ons and very straight forward, a line of bolts along bonnest strip, a few more at the bottom end, beneath the panelling

be careful when you take it as the indicator is connected there,

very straight forward,

Open the door and you'll see a bolt hiding in the door hinge area

And small grubscrew securing the plastic trim panel. This panel SLIDES off the clips, don't try to PULL it straight off.

Wow,

Hugely Impressive! - Can I ask, is this from one of the service manuals on Disc that seem to be on Ebay?

I would also be interested to know if that is the case.

Also interested in getting my hands on a disc with diagrams and part numbers as used by the stealers.

I know about the Rusky site, but a disc like the Alfa romeo EPER or Ford TIS would be ideal.

Not eBay legally, as it's from the official Mercedes Service Manual CD available from MBUSA.

This person has copied his to the Internet.

Yes, I understood that it has been copied ot the interweb, I was trying to establish if it was the same as what is for sale on ebay though.
