M110: advice before tensioner replacement?

[wolf_walker]

Anything particular to look for?  I know it's a ratcheting type, I know there is an access hole through the AC comp bracket, tensioner kit will be in Monday.  Special procedure for setting on install?  I looked through the service library and did not see much about it, or I missed it.
Thanks..

I don't know what year/market or model your 280 is but there is an in depth description of removal and fitting as well as the two different types used in the workshop manual here.

I wouldn't try replacing it without reading it first.

I found thbe 05-310 .pdf last night finally, I'd missed it the first time around somehow.
It still isn't tremondously clear, but I guess that's pretty normal.  Hopefully it'll make more sense with it in front of me.

Edit:  My Febi/Bilstein tensioner came in, looks like the "2nd type" in the Mercedes document.  It reads like one can exclude the check balls and such for the newer type.  I hope.
