will I have to flush with flushing fluid?
All of it? Or none of it, if that's the one that has R134a in it.
I would use R-12 oil, I suppose.
That's
Im going to head out tomorrow and see if I can find any of this 70/30
fuel anywhere and give it a try in my unconverted 90 300D. If not, I

It has a bushing, and a proportionaly smaller (in width) rocker arm. Now
that I think about it, perhaps the bushing is MORE reliable than the ball
bearing? Then why did MB change it?
When we got this car, the rocker was tilted, so I just assumed (there it is
again) that it needed a new bearing.

Not that I don't have a care for the environment, but a volcano errupting
does more harm to the ozone layer and CO2/particulate levels than a few
years of human activity... are we going to regulate volcano's next?
Just food for thought, don't have the numbers in front of me though.

At a guess, I would suspect that the bushing would cause the bolt to
unscrew much more readily than the bearing system, and that the loose
bolt will eat the front cover pretty fast.

I would beg to differ here. Chlorine in the upper atmosphere acts as
a catalyst to covert ozone to diatomic oxygen, this is a know fact,
not a supposition. The main mechanism for transporting free chlorine
into the upper atmosphere (where it is not found in nature) is

When I redid the 79 TD's front suspension (ball joint failed, wheel
broke) I took the knuckle to a Benz shop to put in the new one I
brought, and an old mech put it in a vise, picked up a BFH, put a ball

bj popped out.

OK, so if you are pumping a vacuum for hours, all the water should be
gone before you recharge the system. And the system should then be
under pressure, so no water should get in. So why the drier for water?
