After finding the CPS, this is as easy as it looks.

1. First a CPS is needed. For my car, a 2002 CLK 430, I show it's part number to be 0031532828. I show that part as being for the following vehicles:
   1999 - 2000 C230
   2002 - 2007 C230
   2001 - 2005 C240 & C320
   2005 - 2006 C55
   2000 - 2002 CLK430
   2003 - 2006 CLK320, CLK500, & CLK55
   2006 CLS500, & CLS55
   2003 - 2005 E320 & E500
   2005 - 2006 E320 CDI
   2004 - 2006 E55
   2002 - 2005 G500 & G55
   1998 - 2003 ML320 & ML430
   2002 - 2006 ML350
   2002 - 2007 ML500
   2000 - 2002 ML55
   2007 R500,
   2001 - 2006 S600
   2000 - 2006 SL500
   2004 - 2007 SL600
   2003 - 2007 SL55
   2005 - 2007 SL65
   2001 - 2004 SLK320 & SLK32
   2007 S600 & S65

   The correct part number can be confirmed with a dealer's parts department. I show the part as having a list price of $119, or $95.20 with an MBCA discount. The bolt that hopefully won't be lost is part number 910142006001. It has a list price of $1.

2. Next, tools are needed. A socket screwdriver, ratchet, an extension or three, and a size 8 TORX socket.

3. After the engine has cooled, open the hood and remove the air cleaner/engine cover.

4. Is the TORX socket magnetized? If not, a little bearing grease in the socket will prevent the bolt from falling out.

5. Remove TORX bolt, remove the CPS, and unplug the wire.

6. Slide the new CPS in.

7. Apply some blue Loctite to the CPS bolt threads and screw it back in.

8. Attach the CPS wire, reinstall the air cleaner, and this job is done.
