-Remove ABC pump
-Disconnect/disassemble line
-Lift Motor
-Assemble all components
-Fill/Bleed PS system
-Fill/Bleed ABC system
-Perform Rodeo
-Change Filter

This will take at least 6 hours and will cost much money because I will need a few liters of CHF-11S mineral oil.

you sure? i read through the direction, it dont' say anything about removing the pump to replace the high pressure expension hose..#13 right..

well, maybe your info resource is different..

btw..the end cap thats leaking is pulsation damper built into the line...

Never mind I read it... they had it under "Pulsation Damper" and not "HPE Hose" in WIS.

Nope, first time around I could not find anything about that hose in WIS so I just went at it until it was out of there.

I've done this work many times after my car, sometimes I document it. Here's a thread about a CL600 that I took care of: https://mbworld.org/forums/cl55-amg-...-pictures.html
