Old w202, w208 and w210 it is easy to virgin esl. Just erase dumps on mcu1 and mcu2. Connect your fvdi with your laptop, connect ESL adapter to the fvdi, connect obd cable to the esl adapter. + to pin 16 and - to pin 4 on OBD plug, 12 V of course. Then, it has to work !!

I will give it a try since w 208 and w210 are little hard to disassemble, w203 and w209 are easier with a clear file.

when you say is hard to pull out if you mean becose is in lock position,,,you can erase esl on vehicle , just disconect ori plug and make conection from description ,,when you delete data ,than esl wil be open an you can take him out
