May or may not be relevant, but I had the ignition cylinder lock up on a Honda
Odyssey. Sidewinder style key, wafers. Locked up solid without warning, between
"Off/Locked" and "Accessory" positions. Could not turn either way or remove the
key. Fortunately the steering column was not locked.
Beck-Arnley used to be decent foreign car parts, don't know if they still are.
So many old brands have been sold and now the names are attached to generic

I never opened an ignition cylinder but I have been inside w126 door locks.
The sidewinder style does not use pin-style tumblers like a typical home
lock. They use spring loaded split "wafers" that ride up and down the

Never tried finding touch-up paint for something that old, I would guess the
dealer or perhaps online if you know the color code. But if you are not
concerned about a perfect match maybe just go with the closest match at the

Hi All,
Does anyone know where I can get touch up paint for the rims on my

He’s just being contrary because he can’t roll up the windows remotely when it

OK, now test your desired lift position by taking the keys out of any car,
and pushing it by hand, by yourself, to the lift.
Then decide if you truly want the lift at an angle.
Just my suggestion having done it a few times, by myself.

Talking to this guy at LKQ today he says his nephew (who is also A parts puller
there) bought a 2010 E430 (I think that was it) from a guy who brought it in to
sell as the air shocks (which I guess the car has) were collapsed and he didn’t
want to pay for new ones so he was going to sell it to

On several Benz models it is nearly impossible to remove the transmission from
the engine in the car. My brother's 75 W114 was like that, had two upper
transmission bolts missing, you can get them out but not back in with the
engine in the car.
Less likely to drop the transmission of a jack
I was paying the guy to pull the trans, it was easier to drop the front
steering frame then pull the whole deal. He had it up on the lift so I said I
should just get the whole deal. I went in and negotiated a bit, $600 for the
whole package. I don’t need it but the accessories are worth a good
That's one way to do it...

It was a perfect storm, generated by the brains of those who lobby
congress... The great crash of 2008 left people out of work, broke, and
underwater on their house mortgages. They were not able to buy a new car
when the garage they would keep it in was in foreclosure.
Then, CFC program came out
Yes CFC really screwed up the used car business even to this day.
