Re: [MBZ] W124 Rear Wheel Bearing

That’s what Harbor Fright is really good for - cheep chinee tools I can buy, cut up/modify without concerns about the cost. I have one that less than two miles from my house. On days when the breeze is right and the windows are open I can smell it. -D > On Nov 16, 2018, at 11:29 AM, Meade

Re: [MBZ] W124 Rear Wheel Bearing

I did similar, I cut off the end of the cheapo Harbor Freight socket to make it as shallow as possible, so that the breaker-bar torque was applied as close to the nut as possible. Trick is to keep the end of the socket square. - Max Charleston SC On Fri, Nov 16, 2018 at 11:24 AM OK

Re: [MBZ] That’s the “breaks”

Brakes are one of the easiest and most satisfying jobs on a 123 (126 too).  More hassle to get out the jack, jack it up, remove wheels, etc. than to actually change the brakes. I have to do all the calipers on this CD I have, I bought them some time ago and just haven't been over to do the

[MBZ] That’s the “breaks”

300TD - Just bought and installed 2 rebuilt rear calipers, plus pads and hoses. Total cost from NAPA was just under $160.00. Caliper - SE1329 and SE1330 $61.39 each. Hoses - 38514 $7.59 each. Pads PF-7111M $15.89 for the set. Easiest brake job ever. Calipers came with new hardware and the old

Re: [MBZ] If not the SD....

If you get a real cruiser, it will have a hard plastic back seat and no carpet. Makes it easier to hose the back down after the perps have been dropped off at the jail. -D > On Nov 16, 2018, at 7:41 AM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes > wrote: > > Left front seat is wrecked inside of 50,000
