I would not want to change one again on a w220. I agree it was super tight to get in and out. Those hoses are hard to clip on to the radiator.

Glad it worked out for you. Hopefully I won't have to tackle that job anytime soon.

Back in my tuned turbo car days, when installing new silicone hoses, we used hairspray to make it slide easier.

Gonna try this with these rubber hoses and hope all stays well
