It is a bit of a chore, but no real tricks involved. Just lots-o-tight spaces.

You will need a few special tools, including a slim profile spark plug socket.
I used a Stahlwille socket#51, a 16mm socket with rubber insert.

A T27 Torx bit and a Low Range torque wrench (for the Torx screws- 8Nm),
and a regular range torque wrench for the Spark Plugs (28 Nm).

Another tool that made the job easy, was MB part# 110 589 01 01 00, aka
Hazet # 2771. You use the wrench to pry the spark wire off the plug.

Other helpful items were 3" and 5" extensions, and a U-Joint.

In all, it took around 3 hours. A preatty straight forward procedure.

Although the coils and plug/block areas ARE marked with A & B, I was paranoid, and just did one plug/plug wire at a time, JUST IN CASE!

SOURCE: I need to change the fuel filter on my 1999 Mercedes E430.

underneath you will find a plastic cover in front of the rear left wheel, it's held on with three nuts on small studs, these have a bad habit of breaking if there is any resistance, use plenty of loose juice and a wirebrush first, remove the cover and you'll find the fuel filter and pump

I have a 1997 Mercedes S500 Coupe. The problem I have is that the number 8 coil and plug aren't firing. I have changed both coil and plug, but it's just not firing at all. My question is, could it be

when you say not firing have you removed the plug and checked for spark across the plug points. If you haven't done that then do so as misfiring can also be from faulty injector( blocked tip or faulty electronics)

After changing plugs, air Filter , oil filter and fuel filter, I tried starting it and now its misfiring.

You most likely need new Spark Plug Wires. When you change your Spark Plugs, it is always a good idea to throw some New Spark Plug Wires in with them.

Changing the plugs

Please use this for reference only since I have a 1996 C 220.
On the top center of the motor is a cover over the spark plugs. Remove the cover and you should see your plug wires. Obviously just unplug wires and remove the plugs. However I did not have a spark plug wrench the held the plug so I had to put the plug into the wire and slightly twist the plug into the opening. I then removed the wire again and used the wrench to tighten. Only do one plug at a time obviously.
