Hi guys anyone replace their lifters yourself ,got a few questions.
From the WIS it shows 4 tools

2-locating plate for the front (tool 156 00 32 00)
3-safety screw for back of adjuster or compressing tool for adjuster(tool 156 01 63 00)

Sorry to hear, hydraulic lifters ticking prematurely have affected numerous auto manufacturers, as you know while it does not affect performance, the ticking is very annoying and on an AMG should not be occuring with only 47K.

BTW..G50/50 is the best!

+1 I had mine done recently on my 07 with 19k on the clock, It was just too annoying.

You don't say what year your car is....warranty??

I have worked on the 156, and to my surprise it was easier than expected. (I guess easy all relates to experience). However, you will need all the tools except for the flat one that is suppose to slide into the rear of the cams.

Wow, are you out of warranty? Do you plan to replace the cams too?
Get an oil sample, send it to Blackstone lab, good luck.
