Re: [MBZ] Think the E320 Needed...

3/4 of the way done with this job. Some observations: Having the engine up in the air makes removing the spark plugs easy-peasey - at least on the passenger side. I’ve gotten both mounts swapped and the passenger side spark plugs done. I haven’t lowered the driver’s side down yet and will

[MBZ] My first welding job and the e300 and the SDL

So I when out back to the rusty 95 e300 to harvest the rear exhaust for the green 95 I started driving. After I pulled it and got it in the shop I discovered it was cracked in the same spot as the one it is replacing. I decided to try out the HF 220v welder. I got t welded up but it ain't

It's been a while I could not remember if mitivac worked with abs or not. I have 2 or 3 of them, but can't find the stupid hoses and the reservoir that goes with it. Will probably buy a new set. Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 5, 2017, at 7:03 PM, OK Don via Mercedes

Re: [MBZ] My first welding job and the e300 and the SDL

IIRC, only the gravity method doesn't work with ABS. You should build one of the pressure bleeders from a small pump-up sprayer. It's cheap and works great. Someone here posted the instructions years ago - - - On Sat, Aug 5, 2017 at 7:17 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com>

Just gravity bleed it. Fill reservoir, attach drain line to right rear caliper bleeder and direct into can, let it bleed while keeping the reservoir full. Takes some time, watch the drip drip until no more sure bubbles coming out, close bleeder. Don't forget the rear compartment of the

Yes, any air in the system will render it worthless. Yes, you can use the mityvac solo to bleed the brakes - just watch the reservoir level. On Sat, Aug 5, 2017 at 6:55 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > I can't imagine just the right rear needing to be bleed

Done. The driver’s side spark plugs were pretty easy, even easier than the passenger side, mainly because having the engine raised up made it possible to get directly on them with a socket and not have to worry about universals or wobbly extensions. AC compressor went right back on, took
