I have a 2000 clk320 and I had to lower my pitman arm part that is connected to the steering housing down to the spring clip ( I did not take it off) then I was able to take out the center link. If I did not lower the center link 2 inches I wound no have been able to take the link out/ I used a large pitman arm tool a small one for the other link on the passenger side and the lower part of the pitman arm that the center link connects to.
people love to talk when they use the company their jobs alignment machine. thats all. people dont legitimately know DIY stuff. thats why guys with hydraulic lifts in their garage are extremely slim. I used pickle fork too for all of them tbh. you should see my vid of the link 🤣🤣
