If you ever have a chance to put an air compressor on a Mercedes engine in a freight liner Columbia...

Jump off a fuckin' cliff.

Make sure there's plenty of sharp rocks at the bottom, you don't wanna live through that shit.

That is all.

Bad day at the office? :haha2:

Four bolts. Three from the front. 16mm.

One from the back. Buried in shit. Blind at best.

17mm. Why would you do such a thing.

Get all put back together.

Power steering drive coupler laying on the bench.

Ohh man! THAT sucks but you really can't blame the truck for that you know. ::tongue::

The PS coupler, no. But the bolts? Who does that?

Logically, if the bolts had been lost/replaced it would have been the 3 you can get at. The one in the back is behind a bunch of shit so all you can do is turn it and basically let it push the compressor off the engine once the head of the bolt bottoms out against the crankcase vent filter housing, which apparently has more than 3 bolts in it, because I pulled 3 out and that thing wasn't going ANYWHERE.
