Mercedes W123 Turbo Air Cleaner Housing Bracket Replacement

Editing Step 6 —

Drag to rearrange

Underneath the air cleaner housing you'll find the bracket. It bolts to the exhaust manifold.

Not pictured are the three rubber buffers that screw in to the bracket, which the 10mm nuts in the air cleaner housing were attached to. They help absorbs some of the vibration to the housing.

If the rubber buffers don't unscrew by hand use a pair of pliers to grip them and unscrew them from the bracket before continuing.

Then use a 13mm socket and socket wrench to remove the two 13mm bolts on top of the bracket, and then switch to a 10mm socket to remove the bolt that holds the oil feed line for the turbo to the bracket.
