Hi all, hope everyone is well.
I need some advice removing the inlet manifold on my 2004 C270 CDI as I'm really struggling with the last bolt, lower bolt nearest bulkhead. I've looked up videos and instructions and it says to remove the dipstick, I've taken the bolt out the dipstick and I can move it up but it hits the bracket below the inlet manifold and won't move any further, I can't twist it to pull it out. Also there's a plug above the gearbox that needs disconnecting which I can feel but can't disconnect as my arms don't bend that way. I was going to take the EGR cooler out but can't take this out either as I can't get to the lower 2 bolts, hmmmmm this job is becoming very annoying. Is there a knack to removing this one bolt holding the inlet manifold in, the lower one nearest the bulkhead, it's the only one holding it in now all the others have been removed. I may have spent too much time on this and just need to walk away from it till tomorrow.
Any help would really be appreciated, Thank you in advance
