Its super easy, wear goggles though, sand and grit will be trying to fall into your eyes. Glasses just hold the stuff thats fallen giving it time to find passage into your eyes...
I don't remember who recommended it but castor oil makes a good lubricant for the rubber parts when installing. I've done this job twice now (once on my '83 240D, can't remember what the other car was, my '84 190D maybe?), once I didn't use anything and it was MUCH harder. -Curt Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2012 09:55:32 -0400 From: Rich Thomas <richthomas79td...@constructivity.net> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] 300SD suspension rebuild done! Message-ID: <4f883054.7050...@constructivity.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed I got the kit and for some reason forgot to change it (I left it lying on another part of the bench and overlooked it when I was going through the parts), but it seems to be pretty tight. The guy at the shop suggested driving it for a week or two then to bring it back and they will check it again after all the rubber has settled in. If I get the urge one of these days I will change that part too as it looks fairly easy to do, though under the car looking up. On another note, I discovered that an empty anti-freeze jug makes a very nice pillow for working under the car. Right size, and fairly comfortable. --R _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
