Subject: [MBZ] 190D disassembly
With the buyer coming today (supposedly) I wanted to get the dash and
console out as he wanted them but I want to keep the radio.
To get the dash out I managed to break the dash cap (crap!) as it was
glued on one corner really really well and I put a screwdriver (that I was
moving the glue with) right through it.
Then I couldn't get the steering wheel bolt out. Finally I decided to weld
a nut onto it and turn that since I'd stripped the allen hole some. I
couldn't get the nut welded on well enough so I put a smaller Allen socket
into the hole and WELDED(!) that on. I've never welded so much in one spot
before but I needed to ensure penetration. Then I LEANED into the wrench
and out it came BENDING the socket... Boy I want to tell you there was
some pressure involved there!
Just now I realized that while I was welding I forgot to take off my
Blackberry and managed to get a very small piece of hot slag right through
the screen's outer covering. Doesn't seem to have damaged the screen
though. Tough phone.
