Arrow 2006 CDI condenser help

2006 E320 CDI.

I have to replace the condenser, has anyone done this? Does it have to come out along with the radiator?
Can anyone point me to an online proceedure?

My computer died a few weeks back so I can’t view my Ebay bought EPC/manual.

Out of curiosity, at how many miles did it fail? What was the failure mode?

I replaced the radiator on my CDI. From what I can remember, the condenser snaps to the radiator. Plan on removing the bumper cover and turbo intercooler.

And as with anything A/C related, replace the receiver dryer as moisture will have gotten inside and run a vacuum on the system for 30 minutes before recharging.
