Perfect fit on my 89 560SEL
Great remanufactured Bosch part. Bolted right in to my 89 560SEL. Identical to the OEM starter I replaced, down to the markings and model numbers. MUCH faster starting than my OEM unit, which I had known was worn for quite some time. Use a 2' extension, a u-joint, and a copious amount of PB Blaster to get at the troublesome top hex bolt. I was able to do this repair without dropping the exhaust.
