If the purpose of your question on battery removal is to prepare to replace the current battery with a new one, you may want to consider Roadside Assistance from MBUSA.

In the US, calling 1-800-FOR-MERC and providing your contact info and VIN# triggers a free service call to you from the closest MB dealer. The tech schedules the 'house call', and

o brings you a new MB branded battery

o removes your old one, installs the new one

o if necessary, inputs the correct radio code

o if necessary, re-synch's your other electrical systems, i.e., windows, top controller, and others I suppose that I can't think of.

The only charge for this is the retail cost of the new battery at today's going rate. You'll have to call to get the actual $ they charge. Historically, this service has been a good value.
