It would be handy if you could post up the procedure for us newbies if you wouldnt mind?

I followed info on the mercedes owners site, I frequent that forum too as I use an E class for business and the crossfire is MB running gear, but that thread contained a few differing opinions so I went partly with that and partly with my own experience of taper bearings and left a little play.

It had gone through its UK MOT in December and the local test here on the IOM last week when I re-registered it both with no problems but I still felt there was a bit too much play, probably 1mm which i've taken down to about 0.5mm.
