That's an idea but there is grease and oil in there, I cleaned it up with degreaser but I don't think that would get down in there to clean it up, and it would probably not stick together with that in between the 2 pieces --R On 11/23/20 4:36 PM, Randy Bennell via Mercedes wrote: Can you do

The last two cars I put on CL required payment of their fee. Since the vehicles were in less than showroom condition, I chose to forgo listing as drivers and sold them as parts cars. There were bins of parts that did accompany them, so … parts car Clay inter urinas et faeces nascimur >

Oops, fresh out of 30s, but here's a 25: https://www.rakuten.com/advanceautoparts.com The coupons don't work for oils, 15 years ago they worked on ATF and Brake Fluid, but I believe those are both blocked now. And the $40 off on $100 purchase (which I haven't seen in a long time) quit working

ATF mixed with acetone. Mix a small amount just prior to use. The acetone draws into the tiniest crevices and pulls the ATF with it. I learned about it on this list, or maybe the old mbz.org list. Allan Dan Penoff via Mercedes writes: > Kroil. I swear by that stuff. I’ve yet to encounter a
