Re: [MBZ] W124 606 valve spring replacement

For removal, don't you just put a socket over the upper spring seat and whack it with a mallet? Installation is a little harder... Mitch. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change

Yeah. By the time you have a custom exhaust, intake, two turbos, wastegates, a hot injection pump, an 87 wagon with a transplanted '99 606 and interior from a 95, with a fully rebuilt rear suspension with half shafts, new sls, 500e/600sl brakes, a 500e master and a dual diaphragm vacuum booster

I tried that.   I got the job done, but I'd recommend a real tool.   Preferably the official one or its clone. Max Dillon via Mercedes February 14, 2020 at 6:34 PM The preferred tool is basically a lever, one end can be anchored somehow. I'll bet it could be

Re: [MBZ] W124 606 valve spring replacement

I borrowed a valve spring compressor from someone on this list years ago, probably for the M117, but it might have been for the OM617. It was a generic tool, and I had to "beef it up" a bit, but it worked. I returned it . you know who you are :) On Fri, Feb 14, 2020 at 5:24 PM Craig via
