Has anyone else tried DIY maintenance for Mercedes B-Class?

[TomCruise007]

Has anyone else tackled this yearly maintenance themselves? A dealer quoted me $350 for the service, but the part alone is only $45. Our 2015 B-Class is out of warranty now, with 60,000 miles on the clock, so no more complimentary services. I heard it’s a super quick 10-minute job that doesn’t even need the car lifted, as long as you have or can make a special tool. I went back and forth about doing it myself, but my biggest concern is handling the high voltage safely. Anyone have experience or tips on this?

I haven’t tried it myself, but $350 does seem high for a quick job. If you’re comfortable with the high voltage, you can try tackling it but make sure you have the right tool for safety.
