V6 320cdi (OM642). Change poly v belt

[fredT]

Is there a guide out there on how to do this on a 2006 c class?

Will I need any special tools? Am I likely to find other issues/need other parts? The belt is cracked from age.

I found this, that for a GL. Is it the same prcedure and as easy as that seems?

Yes same idea, I have just done mine, you need a long bar as the spring is strong.
