The pulley on the s500 pump is different from the s600 pump. If your s600 tandem pump still works for power steering , leave it alone
Anyone who has put in the s500 power steering pump had to modify the pulley

please re-read the thread.
I do not have a S500, I DO NOT HAVE A S600. I HAVE A 2004 CL600 v12tt. I do appreciate your response but it seems like that is the only car to have a abc to stut conversion done on it.. have a great day

S/SL/CL, all the same pump.
600 cars have a wider belt, a 500 pump doesn't just "bolt on".
Two of the 3 mounting bolts match up, you have to make a bracket for the 3rd one, and modify your lines as the 500 uses a different arrangement.
The info is on here, it's been done and posted with pictures and instructions.

see what i mean.
is it me or are you guys teasing the new guy. ok you got me. let me ask this again.
. I have a 2004 CL600 with abc suspension. I have done a strutmaster conversion. is thier a regular p/s pump that i can swap for the tandom P/s pump. I can find a answer for every other model or car but not specifically for a 04 CL600. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME

Calm down buddy . We know exactly what you want to do - put a power steering pump from a s500 instead of the tandem pump on your cl600
The problem is your pulley on the cl600 tandem pump differs from the pulley on a s500/e500 power steering pump . As was stated above , this will require quite a bit of fabrication and modification . It had indeed been done before and it's posted in this forum. It's not plug n play
If your current cl600 tandem pump works for your power steering then leave it alone , if it failed and no longer provided power steering and you want plug n play , just buy a $260 cl600 tandem pump on Rockauto.com

wow really
thats not what I want to do . i dont have a s500 pump that i want to modify. i never even asked if it was possible. . let ask this again.
Is thier a regular p/s pump (non tandon)from any other car that Mercedes makes that fits a 04 cl600 v12tt. 215 . By the way, if my tandom pump was working we wouldnt have had this quality time together. if you dont know thats ok.

Ok now you're just an idiot . No one is talking about an sl500 pump because those are all tandem pumps .
You are the one who said in your first post
"I want to change the tandom pump out to a regular pump . the closest swap i have found is s500/e500. "
So I clearly replied to you that a ps pump from a s500 will not be plug and play , because the pulley is different . It will require fabrication to make a ps pump from a s500 or e500 pump fit on your cl600
When you learn how to read and how to spell tandem then come back . You have serious reading comprehension issues or are just an idiot

the conversion to a non-tandem pump is NOT plug & play
and not super easy either
at least not for Sunday amateurs

OMFG I want to try to explain 
- You have CL600 215 '04
- Suspension is not ABC anymore (Strutmasters)
- Your ABC pump is no good
- Your question is "what is the best pump for non-ABC CL600 215 '04?"
THE ANSWER IS: buy new w220 S500 pump. It is the best option for your car.
BUT it is not just plug'n'play install as guys mentioned above. But it is still the best option.
Please tell me that it is clear now
