Re: [MBZ] Router and Firewall
Any Time Larry. Look in the Pane on the Left side. The Link to the download is there. When that page opens up you have to scroll down the page to find Windoze Download. They also have a Linux version. If you have problems let me know Off the List and I'll send it to you. Russ W.

Re: [MBZ] texas cars for kids
Well Im not sure if I won or not. Never got anything saying if I won but when I check my account thing it lists the cars, and has in a column my max bid then right below it in bold(maybe the bold is above I dont remember) has the same amount. So is that saying I won? Hmmm. Seems if I didnt win my max would be listed then the final bid amount would be listed. Who knows. Rich Thomas wrote: Call them up and ask them how it works. I don't know about the auction part. The deal is run by this CAN Academy thing which is some sort of charter school for kids who have not done well in school but this outfit somehow helps them out. When they had auctions here in Houston it seemed pretty well organized and the people knew what they were doing, more or less. Some of the kids worked in the office, learning some skills I suppose. You might also want to look at Insurance Auto Auctions -- I found out that the local PBS TV station runs their donated cars through IAA. IAA is a big outfit and they have locations all over, and auctions of their stuff (a lot of wrecks) every now and again. I think you need a salvage license but in TX it is cheap to get, probably same in OK. I looked at their web site once, they had listings of the stuff for sale in each location. --R Kaleb C. Striplin wrote: so I went ahead and decided to try bidding on a couple of cars online. So how does this work, people bid sort of like ebay before the real auction then people at the real auction can outbid those that already bid online or do none of the bids start going in till the real auction? Reason I ask is that it says I am current high bidder. That seems like there is online bidding going on right now. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com -- Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] Router and Firewall
Larry, another easy way to find it is to use the search box at the grisoft.com /AVG website and type in AVG Free that will give you links to the AVG Free page, and it has a link to the download page. They have been hiding the free version the last 2-3 years, but it is there if you want it bad enough. At 04:41 PM 3/18/2007, you wrote: Hi Russ, Thanks for the note. I used AVG for almost a year.

[MBZ] best way to pull an engine
Kaleb has prolly pulled more engines than the rest of us together. Here's my question: The book says pull the engine and tranny as a unit.

Re: [MBZ] best way to pull an engine
I'll defer to other people more experienced than I, but if a mechanic told me he was going to pull the transmission with the engine suspended in mid air, I'd look for another mechanic. Use some wood blocks and let the thing down to earth. Gheez. In the case of the 87SDL and the 94S350, I do not think it is possible to pull the engine alone. The oil pan bolts to both the engine and transmission as I recall. You would have to disassemble the front suspension to drop the oil pan while in the car. -Dave Walton 82 240D, 87SDL, 94S350, 99E300 On 3/19/07, Hans Neureiter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Kaleb has prolly pulled more engines than the rest of us together.

Re: [MBZ] best way to pull an engine
I have almost always let the trans hang in the car. I can say that it is much easier to put the AUTO trans on the engine outside the car, then install as a unit. Most of what I have done is manual trans. It makes NO sense to me to pull the trans out of the car with an MB 4 speed. I think one time I pulled the pair, and re-installed the engine and trans together. Yes, the torque converter will come out with the engine, you only have to unbolt the bolts that hold the trans to the engine. Removing the 2 top bolts IS a pain without the right tools, but i have done it many times. I have never done this on a 126, so i can't say for sure. OM 603 and TC may not clear the radiator support. I think the 617 will clear. Before you go through this, I still think you should take off the vacuum pump and drop the oil sump pan to be sure you have a bad rod bearing and not something else.

Re: [MBZ] best way to pull an engine
When I pulled my 240D I left the AT in place. I also put a block of wood across the TC to make sure it stayed engaged to the primary pump properly. Ya'll are right about the difficult of splitting the engine and AT when both are out of the car. When I removed my 911 engine and its 5-speed I pulled both as a unit. When I unbolted the 2 units, it was a real chore to manipulate the tranny as it is seperated from the engine on the floor. Care must be taken to guarantee no damage is done. Also, when aligning it for reassembly can be tiresome. I had a floor jack under engine and another under the tranny. Was still a chore.

Re: [MBZ] best way to pull an engine
Well, I dont have Kleb's experience level I don't think, but have done this half dozen times so far. I leave the tranny on the engine every time, AT or manual. Sorry to not be part of the majority, but it is much easier IMO. I dont want to have to deal with bell housing bolts under the car. Someone said it is a PITA to get the tranny and engine to line up outside the vehicle.. I can only say that doing it under the car has to be worse. The only thing you must do on a 300D level car is to remove the radiator and slide the AC condenser into the grill a bit and out of the way. This is due to the length of the 5 cyl as opposed to the 4 cyl. An SD may present some other issues, I have done only 123's. Then disconnect the flex joint and other paraphanalia to the tranny (please dont forget the lockout wires, they don't stretch... (c: ), put a jack under the back end of the tranny to give it some support, and plan on lifting the engine almost straight up, IE vertical, out of the car. The jack rolls foward with the tranny end till it begins to take flight. A weight/CG shifter on the lift is a handy thing, although I have done it w/o one. If you dont have one, then make a bar with a very short connection to the front of the engine, and a come-along for the rear connection. I do not remove the hood, but instead stand it up vertical. At several points in the adventure, you will find the rear chain slack. Oh yes, remove that pos bracket across the back of the engine for a lift point and replace it with a bit of flat iron or something of your own design. The sheet metal one will bend, which is unnerving as the engine dangles above your favorite car... Oh again, replace the motor mounts while you're there. And those little shocky things on the sides. And spray wash the engine bay, and and and and... Good luck Richard --- Hans Neureiter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Kaleb has prolly pulled more engines than the rest of us together.

Re: [MBZ] best way to pull an engine
I think one of the key things is to have an engine leveller on the engine crane. That way you can alter the angle of the engine and tranny. Also once the unit is out it would make it easier to position the tranny on blocks of wood. I have a transmission adaptor for my trolley jack, get one of these and once the engine and tranny are out of the car, attach the transmission to the trolley jack and it should make the split easier. - Original Message - From: LarryT [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2007 4:24 AM Subject: Re: [MBZ] best way to pull an engine When I pulled my 240D I left the AT in place.

Here's my question: The book says pull the engine and tranny as a unit. My indy (super mechanic, but not an expert on MB) thinks it be just as easy to pull the engine alone. He worries about splitting the tranny off with the whole thing hanging in mid air. Is he right? Can't the converter stay bolted to the engine? -- Hans Neureiter, Houston, TX '82 300SD, '95 E300D ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com -- No virus found in this incoming message.

[MBZ] Lovely bit of bling
Make sure you are sitting down for this one and have a bucket handy. http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w116-s-se-sel-sd-class/1309943-tuning-w116.html
Re: [MBZ] Lovely bit of bling
That is just wrong. But I notice too that the look is what is known as donked where you jack up an old Chebbie and put some big wheels on it with a garish paint job and do something to the doors. I saw a bunch of Donks (and Boxes and Bubbles) last week in KY, seems to be some sort of fad there among a certain demographic. They did not look too bad, but a Benz is just wrong. And that interior just makes it worse. --R Hendrik Riessen wrote: Make sure you are sitting down for this one and have a bucket handy. http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w116-s-se-sel-sd-class/1309943-tuning-w116.html ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] best way to pull an engine
Hendrik Riessen [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I think one of the key things is to have an engine leveller on the engine crane. That way you can alter the angle of the engine and tranny. Also once the unit is out it would make it easier to position the tranny on blocks of wood. If you are tempted to buy a cheap Chinese engine crane, be aware that they sometimes come with an even cheaper engine leveler accessory. I pulled the M180 engine from my W110 with this, and it bent the leveler so much it was unusable thereafter. The crane itself was fine. I pulled that engine with the tranny attached, and it was sooo difficult to get it all out. I had the hood off, radiator out, all accessories off the block, pullys removed, etc. and still ended up crushing a heater tube on the firewall because of the tight clearance. Maybe if I had raised the car first so I could get the engine absolutely vertical without the tranny hitting the floor it would have worked. Oh I also had to remove the drag link from the suspension. The shop manual of course pictured a technician in spotless white coveralls easily removing the equally spotless engine with transmission attached, at a moderate angle. Also I have no idea how this experience will translate to your W123. When I reinstalled I put the tranny in first then the engine it was much easier. Allan -- 1983 300D 1966 230
