This guy's a very experienced mechanic but he just happens to specialize in Mercedes. As such, he may not be aware of certain specifics regarding this CV boot procedure.

For instance, I needed a CV boot on a MB e430 4matic and he literally did it in 10 minutes - totally straightforward.
If he is a pro, and does this for a living, he will have no issues with the e53 at all. Seriously, this will be nothing new to him at all.
