[MBZ] The E420 is going back together!

2010-09-25 Thread Craig
I got the power steering pump in and tightened the three bolts that hold
its bracket to the block (since I knew where they were it was MUCH easier
to do than it was trying to take them out).

I could not figure out a way to put the serpentine belt back on by
myself, so I tied a small rope to the 6 mm end of a 6/8 mm box wrench and
tied the rope to a broken splitting-maul handle, as shown in the
pictures attached. With Shirley's help leaning on the handle, I was able
to get the belt on with few problems.

Excellent!

I had SWMBO help me replace the radiator in the '90 300D today - but all she
had to do was hold the flashlight while I positioned and tightened the lower
hose-to-water pump clamp.
