Just changed the water pump on my 420SL. It was seeping through the holes top and bottom (seal gone, probably because the car's been standing). What I thought would be a 2 hour job took 4 hours mainly because you have to take the crankshaft pulley system off to get at the last bolt.
The crankshaft pulley bolt undoes ANTICLOCKWISE (normal way) - this stumped me for a while.
Got a new pump for £55 from EuroCarparts (excl shipping).

You would assume it would be anti clock because of the crankshaft rotation. Nice to know
