Trying to get started with coil over install
I did do a search. How and where do I release the pressure of the ABC nitrogen? The power steering fluid needs removing also. A Merc mechanic told me it is a real PIA to bleed that system after installing the new power steering pump. Anyone done it themselves? Cheers.

If your ABC pump is still good I would just keep it in place and do a loopback. A lot less work and a little less expensive. https://mbworld.org/forums/sl-class-...onversion.html
