Done with both mounts, using all-thread / socket / washers.  I'm SO glad
this job wasn't was bad as you describe Dan.  I must be living right.

They were dead, left side was very badly deteriorated.  This work is on 
The
White Whale, 390k miles, and the differential has so much slop in the 
right

side bearing that I get bad knocking noises from the rear end under
acceleration.  Both half-axles were also shot.

I've got a very nice used differential from Wilton's 300D, only 148k 
miles,

so that differential and axles are going into The White Whale.

I ordered new differential mounts from FCP Euro last Sunday, got the wrong
count.  There are two rear diff mounts, bushings really.  There is a 
single

mount at the front, but that is really two pieces that make a sandwich on
the sub-frame.  I thought I ordered two rear mounts and one front mount
(assuming I'd get both halves of the front mount).  I ended up with two
boxes of rear mounts (with two bushings in each box) and one half of the
front mount.  I'll reuse the best looking side from Wilton's sedan for 
now.


OK, back out under TWW to muscle the diff into place, fun fun fun...

Re: [MBZ] 124 Differential Swap - Rear Mounts

2018-10-20 Thread Dan Penoff via Mercedes
That’s great!  You had a major advantage if you dropped the differential.  With 
the diff in the car the job is really unpleasant.

I started on the mounts in the eldest’s E300D a few months ago and gave up, 
leaving the old ones intact.  They really weren’t bad, but we were trying to 
replace some of the rubber in the drive train to tighten up the car.

I have access to the MB tool, I just need to get it from the guy I know that 
has it.

Is there a reason why you want to change these out? Are they worn or otherwise

Re: [MBZ] 124 Differential Swap - Rear Mounts

2018-10-20 Thread Meade Dillon via Mercedes
Thanks guys.  Air chisel - that doesn't sound good, I don't have one of
those

Reading the FSM 35-050, a special tool is required to measure a dimension
between left mount and a spot on the sub-frame, looks like MB wants the
mounts to be flat to each other and perpendicular to the driveshaft?  How
do I work around lack of that special tool?

And you’ll need an air chisel to get the mounts out most likely.  From the 
back, I would add.

[MBZ] 124 Differential Swap - Rear Mounts

2018-10-20 Thread Meade Dillon via Mercedes
What's the method for R&R the differential mounts in the sub-frame at the
rear of the differential?

I seem to recall someone said they are driven out to the front of the car?

Looks like I'll need to fashion up some sort of puller with big sockets and
a nice piece of acme all-thread.
