Replacing front struts. Difficult?
Just picked up two front struts for my 63. Wondering if it's something my general mechanic can do or should I go to a Mercedes specialist?

it's not difficult at all with the right tools and star. in fact, iirc, it took longer to get the car jacked up and the wheel off than it did to swap the strut...
