Re: [MBZ] w123 door check strap
MY rusty old 300TD (79) door check straps responded nicely to cleaning and new grease, at least for the stamped version.

I would highly advise anyone buying a replacement door check that they grease it liberally with a high quality grease (I use the pink Mobil1 stuff) before installing it. -D > On Aug 13, 2021, at 11:35 AM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes > wrote: > > Now you're talking. > Buy NOS and replace the grease with some manufactured in this century. > Mitch. > >> On 2021-08-13 10:26, Ronald Courcy via Mercedes wrote: >> FYI.

Re: [MBZ] W123 door check strap rebuild
Jim, I recall you have rebuilt the door check assemblies. I got one apart just fine but am not having much success getting the spring compressed with the steel balls on the ends and slide back into the track. That's hard to do. I seem to recall I've done a couple of things. Once I used a pipe clamp (woodworking) to compress the balls, then drove the strap out of the clamp's jaws and into the slider. (I think you have to bend the stop out of the way first.) I seem to recall that I've also slipped them in the track sideways, then drove the one side down with a drift and a hammer, with the strap's body held in a vise, thus compressing the balls into the spring. Do this stuff in a small, clean room!
