Doing some work on the car, need input
Ok guys, I have to do some work on my car and the price for it is a lot! I need input on how difficult this stuff is to perform at home from those with the knowledge and experience.
Replace all 16 spark plugs ($1,035 per mechanic) - Is this a very long and arduous job? How many of those spark plugs are hard to get at?
Remove & Reseal Rear Diff ($1,400 per mechanic)
Wheel Bearings ($1030 per mechanic) - I feel like this may be an easier job, but I have not done this on an MB before.
Thanks in advance for your help guys.

For plugs look at link below, should help you out. Remove the windshield fluid tank on driver side. Makes it easier to get to the plugs.

No problem. Here's a link for the front bearings. Not hard at all, there are some clips that will help too.
I've never done the rear one or differential so can't help there.

Great Thank you again!
Do you, or anyone else, know what size belt I would need with the HPS MP90 S/C? The mechanics can't seem to figure it out.

No sorry. Can you take it off and take it to have something compared to? Or run some string around everything and than measure the string? I'm probably giving bad advice but all I can think off.
