Re: [MBZ] WTB: crankshaft hub
Already replaced the seal for the chain tensioner, immediately after the head was installed and the first seal leaked because I wasn't careful and let the seal get cock-eyed while tightening. The other possible leakers I can think of are the vacuum pump/gasket and the timing case cracking at the serpentine belt tensioner mount. I may put some newspaper or cardboard under it in the driveway and spray a couple cans of brake cleaner to wash off the front of the engine, that may be enough to locate the leak. -- Max Dillon If it is leaking that much, the oil will have washed a clean pathway below whatever is leaking.

Re: [MBZ] WTB: crankshaft hub
Even better! Timken catalogs for their seal applications list both the replacement seal from the MB part number and the "Redi-sleeve" part number. In this case the Timken part number is KWK99177. I'm going to stop by Parks tonight on the way home and buy it if they have it. Their price is about twice what I would pay on Amazon if I wanted to wait ten days or longer, but I love to have a local parts place that not only has a huge selection and good stuff, but they stay open until midnight 7 days a week, so I'll pay the extra and maybe I can knock this repair out this weekend. - Max Charleston SC On Thu, Aug 13, 2015 at 2:17 PM, Curly McLain via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: Agreed, that is is bad to have the car down for a week waiting on parts. > > The sleeve I got was loose, but I installed it with loctite, and I expect > no problems. too small to get it on the hub without damage is another deal. > > I'd suggest putting the sleeve on a block of wood, then set the vibration > damper hub on top evenly and bump the hub with a rubber hammer.

Re: [MBZ] WTB: crankshaft hub
OK, looks like the SKF seal is 17907 => inside diameter = 45.01mm, => speedi-sleeve part# is 99177 (standard) or 99830 ("gold" higher quality / longer lasting). The SKF website and the speedi-sleeve catalog both caution that the correct size is determined by measuring the shaft, I can't do that until I take the hub off. I called local auto parts warehouse, Parks, and they carry the Timken equivalent of the SKF speedi-sleev and have the same size and the next size up and down in stock, so the odds are good that when I take the hub off, I can buy the repair sleeve kit (about $40) the same day and get the car back on the road quickly. I called several local bearing supply places, including two that are SKF distributors, and they don't keep ANY repair sleeves in stock. "We can get that for you in a couple days" doesn't cut it. I do not want to take the car out of service to remove and measure the hub, order the sleeve, wait 2-3 days and then put it all back together. - Max Charleston SC Agreed, that is is bad to have the car down for a week waiting on parts.
