Re: [MBZ] W123 sideshafts
Assuming homokinetic axle, inside boot 126 350 03 37 = $45 wholesale, outside can/boot kit = 126 350 02 37 = $66 wholesale. Dealer cost is lower, Rusty may be able to get you better prices or not. I'm using the 2009-10 price list from Dave M's website, I think a newer price list is out now so the prices may be up 10% or so.

Re: [MBZ] W123 sideshafts
Easy to say in the US, but I believe Peter is in the land of OZ, so it is not so simple. Someone on the list bought and used that tool to install new boots. Who was that and what is the website where you buy the tool and boots?I think it is dieselgiant.com but their website is down right now. Peter, The boots can be replaced, but it is hard to do without the expander tool. I don't know if the expanders or boots can be found in OZ, but you might find them there or in hong kong or Singapore. If you can afford the freight and any duties , Rusty does sell new axles with boots for about the price of a used axle from a junkyard in the USA.
