Rear Strut Removal?? Boot Replacement.
My rear struts appear to be working well and not leaking (OE Strut's on an 03 SL 55 w/ 73k miles) reasonably well serviced.
However one of the rear boots is pretty well split/cracked here and there.
So I have a new pair of Rear Strut Boots of Thia origin. Wondering what/how much of the rear suspension I will need to drop to install these rear boots???
All help and experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!

THANKS for the input. And the YouTubes were helpful too.
They indicate that it takes a STAR to "re-inflate the air struts". It this also true of the hydraulic struts or do the just automatically bleed like the rest of the system??
