It's 2008 Ml 350 with 191K miles.
I replaced water pump today and since I was draining the radiator, might as well replace several other related items.
Lower and upper radiator hoses, oil cooler and oil filter housing gaskets. Since I was taking off oil filter housing, I didn't have to mess with power steering reservoir.
Took some photos and job was pretty straight forward except the mess it made with coolant on the garage floor. Upper hose off Thermostat housing and oil filter housing off Oil filter housing and cooler Water pump off
Water pump was replaced due to bad bearing(lots of noise).
Engine runs quieter now, bleeding of coolant made lot of mess on the floor. As coolant was heating up and burping air, drips of coolant overflowed.
It took about 9 to 10 qts of coolant, including mess on the floor.
