Need help on lowering links!
Hey guys,
So I just purchased a pair of the lowering links for my 08 e63. I raised the car up to find the links and I noticed the rear one is in a very tight area. Any advice on how to changing it?
Thanks!

I used the links on my old 03 E500 and yes the rear one is a real pain to do. Had to get my friend that has a hoist in his garage and small hands to do it.
And its really sensitive to adjustments. Took us a few tries to get a good stance

Did this on my E55 a while ago. The fronts are cake. The rear not so much.
The stock link should just pop out like the front. Maybe use a wrench or like Maximum said, a pry bar. We were able to get to it on jack stands relatively easily.
Where did you get the lowering links from? If I remember correctly the rear link actually needs to be shorter as opposed to the front which needs to be longer in order to lower the car. I could've gotten that backwards though..
