I've never worked on a sidewinder key but the conventional keys used in a 123
are VERY easy to work on. On those I don't think the ignition wears out
per-say, I think cruft gets in and gums them up until they can't turn anymore.
The driver's door on my '83 240D got so bad I had to cut it apart
Scott you just helped me to understand how the sidewinder keys work. I'd never
visualized it before since I've never had one apart but I can now see in my
mind how the wafers work.
Assuming they're somewhat like the wafers in a 123 you could also modify (grind
off) the outside of the wafers to

It's got your name all over it, just throw down 50K and 3K a month for 50

I've done 3 shops now using schedule 40 PVC pipe, with drain valves below

No rust issues with PVC pipe and use the drain valves to blow down the

On the ones I worked on, the access port/hole was centered on the bottom of
the mounting flange, covered with a dust plate - access looking to the rear
from the front side. yes, you'll need to lift the engine to get to it, and
be able to rotate the crank to get all the bolts, usually two per ear

Does anyone know if the motor mounts for a 115 and a 123 are the same?
My issue is that my car is a 1976 115 300D. Mercedes started making the
123 in late 1976 so both models were available that year.
Do I need to find ones expressly for the 115? That is proving

Second that, Torque converter is bolted to the flex plate, which drives the
transmission, through the torque converter [fluid coupling, or "liquid
clutch"]. With the engine setting flat on the trailer, your access to those
bolts may be restricted.

Like Jim said.
Flex plate bolts to crankshaft like a flywheel in a manual transmission
car.
TQ bolts to flex plate, covers the crank bolts so you have to remove the
TQ before removing the flex plate.

I think 1/2" OD would be pretty constricting for any high-volume applications
such as large impact wrenches or painting. That's probably 3/8" ID at best,
likely less.

Correct. Access to those bolts will be on the front side of the starter
ring / flex plate. Usually there is an opening below the area of the
starter.
Likely, you will need to lift the engine up and set it on wood blocks of
some sort to get access to the area, then turn the engine over by hand
How would this compare to what OK don got, it is quite a bit cheaper.
Or that would introduce potential safety issues. Compressed air can be nasty
stuff and do some serious damage.

In your photo you can _see_ the feet on the TC, that would
have to go to the (thin, spring steel) flex plate. Should be bolt
heads there, facing forwards. Usually accessed through a
hole in what is currently sitting on your trailer floor.

You could cheap out and use PEX and black iron or copper. You will have to

This young fellow used copper. At the present time, it would be too much money.

Another couple votes for PEX.

yeah OK I just went and looked at it, there is a little plastic cover at

Because the galvanized coating can flake off and end up in your tools.
