I grabbed mine with the Snap-On needle nose pliers, put the knurling right where I wanted it. Like you, I overdid it and had to reassemble with a hammer. Unlike you, all I took apart was the shaft, I punched it out with a slightly smaller diameter chunk of drill rod. After knurling, I put the original shaft back in. Removing the cluster from the car took much longer than the repair, probably 30-40 minutes total. (there might be more room to access the cluster on my W116 than on your W123) Mitch. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
