M271 Camshaft Adjuster Removal
Hi,
I have a M271.941 engine in a W211.042 (E200).
I need to replace the intake camshaft adjuster, can anyone confirm the correct way to remove it?
Following the attached instructions, I have tried holding the camshaft using a wrench on the flats (instead of the proper MB tool 271 589 00 61 00) and turned the large nut (27 I think) on the front of the camshaft adjuster. But it is extremely tight, so tight that I stopped before something snapped.
Is it normally this tight?
Is there a locking pin that needs to be removed first?
