Rust has caused a leak in the rear left shock absorber on my 2007 ML350 4Matic. Would anyone have the removal and replacement procedures, including torque values? Any assistance is appreciated. The bottom fastener, a bolt with self locking nut took some persuading to loosen after12 years, but they finally released. Are they reusable, or should at least the lock nut be replaced?

Thank you

Maj. Dundee
