Upper Oil Pan Removal
Hi does anyone have the WIS procedure for the upper oil pan removal for 2001 CLK 430? Or any experience? I have to replace my timing cover and the WIS for the timing cover stipulates the removal of the upper oil pan is required. Just want to see what else this means I need to remove as there are clearly some things in the way from the looks of things. Got my lower oil pan out yesterday and started on the upper but just want to make sure I'm doing it right. Some people have mentioned I may need to drop a portion of the exhaust and possibly axle??? Hoping not...
Thanks in advance.

Anyone out there that may have the WIS procedure for this? I have the oil pump and torx bolts out however I do not any clue where to go from here. If someone has access to one, this would be SUPER helpful!

In post #1 below, has a detailed walk through for the replacement of the upper oil pan on a W210 (that should be the same of similar for the W208).
