To replace the timing chain of the Mercedes M-Class, it will be necessary to completely disassemble the components located in the left part of the engine compartment: this way it will be possible to access the engine block, also removing the corresponding front wheel.

The screws fixing the chain tensioner will have to be unscrewed and then it will be possible to remove the old chain from the corresponding gears: the new one can now be inserted, making sure everything works.

Then all the components that have been removed will have to be reassembled.
