Re: [MBZ] 300TD CV axle swaps

Rick, IIRC, the early 123 chassis uses an inner CV joint which requires you to remove the rear diff cover, in order to pry out the circlip holding in the axle stub. I think the later versions use an inner joint which bolts on to the CV flange externally. On Tue, Apr 1, 2008 at 8:31 PM, Rick Hawki

B99 (and B20) are typically cheaper than dino at my card-op station. My "personal" MB tech (that's me) has had to switch the fuel return lines from/between the injectors to the pump with viton, but other than that, there's been no engine-related downside. I've never observed any mileage penalty
