Re: [MBZ] M115/O615 crank balancing disc removal - puller required?

2015-04-09 Thread Curly McLain

David,

I've never done it on a 115/300D/OM617, but I've done it on OM621 and 
616.  I've never had a puller.  Take the belts off, take the BIG bolt 
out and pull/tap.  If it is really stuck, put the bolt in a half to 
3/4" and give the bolt head a rap with a 1-2 lb hammer (drift pin may 
be required, depending on the number and config. of the pulleys.


It is MUCH easier with the radiator (and condensor) out.   What 
engines I did it on didn't have A/C or the engine was out, so I never 
had to mess with the condensor on a filled A/c.




Hello gang,

I'm replacing the front seal on my M115 (2.2L gas; similar block as 
OM615) and wondering if it is really necessary to have a puller for 
the balancing disc like it says in the book.


Has anybody removed the pulley and balancing disc before without a 
puller (not counting those with W116 300SDs that had them fall off 
on their own!) or do I need to get one, and wondering if I need the 
fancy MB one or will a generic puller do the trick?
