Seems straightforward and similar to other vehicles. Take note of torque specs. Take note of replacing nuts and bolts. Mercedes errs on the side of replacing critical nuts and bolts such as the "collar nut" aka hub nut/spindle nut/axle nut.

Greatly appreciated. Is this manual the same one you see on eBay or is there a better outlet to purchase it from?

They are posted. Model 166 is identified in the docs. 166.004 is mentioned as an example or typical, representative model.
