Not mine, worth a laugh. I see you there at your computer, stacks of papers, files, etc. all around you. I know you think you know where every thing is, but I know better. Think of how much better your life would be if you had all that paper clutter saved, and filed in your own HON 4 drawer

Took another step toward the pressure test of the head from my wagon. I've made a steel plate to attach to the exhaust manifold, similar to the collar that connects the exhaust pipe to the manifold. Two holes that the studs fit through, a middle hole that now has a air hose quick release. I'll

Some on-line store, a couple years ago. Fifteen bucks for a bottle, pricey, but worth it. Amazon? Don't remember. One bottle will only clean 8 or 12 wheels, fewer if one cleans the inside of the wheel as well. My first purchase was a sample kit, also included car shampoo, dash cleaner, wax,

Rusty aka Q did rent a press for installing the ball joints, it did not press the old joint out. If you need new ball joints, and your inner bushings are also ready for replacement, it is a better deal time-wise to get new lower control arms. They come with ball joints and bushings installed.

Despite what you paid for your car, fixing any car properly requires tools, time, and good information, in addition to the parts. There is an old expression, there is no such thing as a cheap Mercedes. Either you pay upfront for a car that has been well cared for, or you pay after for repairs.
