If I did differentials enough I would - that’s a great idea! I’ve already got one garden sprayer set up as a brake system speed bleeder. While it’s really handy when I need it, it takes up a lot of storage space. Dan > On Jul 2, 2015, at 9:57 PM, Rick Knoble via Mercedes > wrote: > > ‎Dan

I will need to look into that. I was under the impression that the older w220 was not blessed with access to the puck, only the newer (2003-05) had that ability clay On Jul 3, 2015, at 2:47 AM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: > Sure it does, if it’s a W220 with the factory Motorola V60. You h
