Hi Gang,
Some punk broke the hod star off my car the other week, but this punk did not
even take it - just left it sitting on the hood.
I received a new star on Wednesday. How do I take what remains of the old star
off and how do I put this new star on?

arms pop out.
You'll need a pair of slip joint pliers.

Sounds like a runaway starter, shorted on and the Bendix trying to engage
the ring gear.
Can you determine what the connector that stopped it goes to?

Your starter stuck on and destroyed itself. With any luck that's

No vacuum on an 85, the actuator is electric.
Most likely a bad amplifier.

I had ruled out the amplifier because when the cruise locks in it is
in.
Faulty logic. With intermittent solder joints inside it
can work perfectly one moment and be dead the next, often
thermally driven, or it can get oddly spastic as its mood
determines. Seen it both ways.

Hi folks,
I called Rusty yesterday and got a TERRIFIC price on the Flex discs for this

Are you SURE the arm is BROKEN? Do you have the door apart yet. It's
usually the little (about an inch + -) square plastic slider that usually
fails. The slider is easy to replace by drilling out old rivet and brad new
copper rivet. If the arm is really BROKEN, you may need new mechanism or
Rusty usually has the parts.

The other day when I did some service on my car, I changed the radiator hoses

more cold operation here in Dallas). I believe that this is

Hello all,
I'm getting ready to do a brake job on all four wheels of my Mercedes. What
parts can I expect to replace? I haven't been into it before.
Thanks

At the minimum, pads. At most, brake lines, brake fluid, pads, rotors,
calipers, and a master cylinder.

When I did the first rotor replacement on my 1994 S350, I had to remove
rolled steel pins from the axle that had no matching hole in the replacement
rotor. Three were quite stubborn. I ended up removing the hub, tack welding
a short round rod inside the pin, and hammering them out from behind
II was looking for what parts that normally need replacement, especially
micellaneous pins, shims, clips ect. I don't know when it was last done or
when the rotors were replaced, so I'm expecting pads, rotors, brake lines.
Thanks
