Spark Plug change
Time for a Spark Plug change, hit 70k. Dealer recommends to change them but they are trying to charge me $500 for it. Haaaa haa... 
Anyway I've done mad sparkplug changes on my old 190E. Very easy access to the plugs. But on my 2001 C320? I have no idea how to access the plugs. Anyone have DIY instructions?

I haven't done it yet but plan to do it myself.....Buy spark plug wire/cap removal tool ($27), remove plug wire, remove spark plug,
clean plug seat, apply anti seize on new plug, replace plug, replace wire. You can probably remove the plug wires without the special tool but my reading says it's a hassle without it and you chance breaking something. Don't use too much anti seize compound as it can foul the electrode if it drips down. Let us know how it goes and any problems you encounter.
