This is an O.K. DIY how-too but I was hoping for some way to improve the bracket, I even tried buying the M-B one ( ! $ !) and it broke just as quickly as the used and aftermarket ones do .

I cannot quite get the bracket loose unless I undo the two 13MM ATF bolts attaching the turbo oil supply pipe ~ BE CAREFUL re inserting these as they’re easy to cross thread .

I find it easiest to install that underneath 8MM bolt by putting it in a shallow 3/8” drive 13MM soccket with a kunckle and a 6” extenstion, I assemble this to the bracket and lower it into place and begin the under bolt first ~ as soon as I feel the threads catch I stop and insert the other two bolts .

For the tiny nut on the bottom I simply *gently* use some small Water Pump Pliers....

For Diesel cars, the sender often has fungus lurking inside it and it's easy to take apart and clean if *VERY*DELICATE* .

Use some small delicate pliers to pinch the soft plastic surround protecting the special nut and unscrew it then it all comes apart easily .

Work over a clean light colored cloth and use electro - contact cleaner or aerosol starting fluid to clean the funky black fungus ~ you need to get every bit of it out, use a soft toothbrush on the bottom part .

Test easily by tipping the sender up and down with the plug attached and the key on .

You'll find it wise to use a toothbrush sized wire brush to clean the calipers where the pads go while it's all apart .

Pretty good Tech Tip .

It's _VERY_ important to change the power steering fluid any time it's not red color or sweet smelling .

If it's brown or you can't see through it , change it every oil change until it remians translucent ~ failure to do so will cause pum leaks or failure .

Use ATF , _never_ power steering fluid .
