Not by hand - he is saying to use the open end of a 17mm box wrench to pry it off. No one said it is a pretty process, but supposedly that's how to do it.

If you pull the wires off by hand, you risk pulling the wires off the coupling...which results in lotta money spent on a new set.

use the open end wrench and pry the cables off using the valvecover as leverage....

or buy the rediculously overpriced MB plugcable remover...something like $80...wtf

Clk 200 is a 4 cylinder like the Slk 230, C230..etc, right? Just remove the red engine cover, screws and pull the plug wires out with your hand. It so basic that if you need procedure then you should try to do it.

Doesn't using Touch shift remove the lag from the throttle? Is sprint booster necessary?
