Thanks, David.

That it would be only the 6.9 makes sense.

I looked at the chapter on removal and installation of the rear parking
brake cable, 42-525, and saw there are different types of attachments for
the brake cable to the brake assembly.

Comparing how the brake cable on my car is attached to those pictured in
42-525 showed my car to have the "diagonal swing axle" and not the
"diagonal swing axle with starting torque compensation".

Take the o-rings you remove to the local bearing supply store, or a local auto

[MBZ] W108 heater o-rings

2023-07-11 Thread David Bruckmann via Mercedes
Good day,

I'm in the middle of the nightmare of removing the heater core from my
W108.068. This was prompted by the death of the fan motor. Since I'm in
there and they're leaking a tad, I will be replacing the o-rings at the two
valves. I gather it's 000-835-12-98 and 000-835-13-98 and that one or the
other is NLA from MB.

Does anyone have any leads on the substitute? I gather one or the other is
an x-profile, which I'm betting is what's NLA.

Appreciate any thoughts on the o-rings, cables, or any other aspect of this
epic job.

[MBZ] 2012 GL450- 154k miles - $13,000

2023-07-11 Thread Allan Streib via Mercedes
Has a tow hitch. Blind spot system is INOP. Also tire pressure system warning 
is on, and has some cosmetic flaws. Seems more like a $9-10K car tops?

Re: [MBZ] W116 parking brakes

2023-07-11 Thread David Bruckmann via Mercedes
AFAIK, only the 6.9 had torque compensation. I would imagine the chapter on
the rear axle would cover which models had what design.


Craig wrote:

Has anyone had experience with these? Or those of another model?

I am reading 42-530 and it isn't entirely clear.

It has illustrations of two rear brake and parking brake assemblies.

The first is titled, "Diagonal swing axle layout."

The second is titled, "Diagonal swing axle with initial torque
   compensation."

It does not, however, tell how to distinguish between the two or how to
determine which one's car has.

The difference is in the reassembly:

11. Install adjusting device (21 through 23) in both brake shoes, that
adjusting wheel (22) of diagonal swing axle faces forward.

  versus

12. Adjusting wheel (22) of diagonal swing axle with starting torque
compensation must face down.


In addition, getting the springs out without the special tools is rather
difficult. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Whenever I see one of these at a stoplight I expect 20 clowns to jump out and 
start running around it in circles.
