Re: [MBZ] 124 parking brakes and drive shaft
Hi Don, How did the brake shoes look? I'd read that since they are only used when the car is stationary (hopefully) they tend to last a very long time - I'm curious because my '91 300D has too much emergency brake travel that needs to be adjusting. Hopefully it's not the shoes. TIA - LarryT 91 300D 2.5 OilAnalysis Time?

One shot of PB Blaster was required on each side to get the disk off of the hub, then it was the usual fun with brake springs time. Being behind the hub, and small than the usual brake spring tool can handle made it a bit more interesting, though once I got one side done, the other side was much easier. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the kit from Rusty included new bolts for mounting the calipers! I also discovered while under the car that the front flex disk has a 1/4 of play, with the steel inserts moving laterally as I turned the drive shaft, and the center bearing support rubber is torn in several places. I'm guessing that one or both of these conditions are causing the occasional rapid hammering noise that I hear/feel sometimes during acceleration or cornering. The order placed with Rusty shouild result in another weekend of dirt in my eyes (need to remember to wear goggles BEFORE I slide under the car). -- OK Don Pair of W124 300D 2.5 Turbos -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Re: [MBZ] Killing a Mercedes
Excellent info, fact-based decision making is the way to go. In my opinion, used car prices are still depressed, so I don't think this C-F-C program had much of an impact at all on the used car market. Sure, some useful running cars were destroyed, and I think this was a form of corporate welfare and government market meddling, which I oppose in general, but I think that the objective of the program was largely met and the biggest problem is the dealers who haven't been paid yet. 20+ years ago a similar idea was floated to the CARB (CA Air Resources Board) that they would get more bang for their buck with a similar program in CA to reduce vehicle emissions, but they never took action on it. The idea was to offer a government voucher for trading in older cars that didn't have catalytic converters and/or other pollution controls, and then destroy the older cars. The math worked out beautifully but the CARB seemed to be more interested in other political objectives instead of achieving concrete results.

Re: [MBZ] Parts exchange
If you want a easy to access place to list used parts, Yahoo Groups is pretty easy to set up - I can create a group for OkieBenz if needed - the only downside is people need to subscribe to a Group before gaining full access but the groups offer lots of flexibility in what can be posted. A folder for parts available would be super easy - if you see something you want, just email the owner and make a deal. Then the owner removes the sold part from the group folder and that takes care of maintenance. It would also be available for non-okie members to join also so you may end up with a larger audience for selling parts. Let me know if you want me to create a Yahoo Group for a parts sales tool. Someone would need to monitor things to make sure it stays accurate and doesn't get hit with spam - I can monitor who joins the group is you wish - LarryT 91 300D OilAnalysis Time?

[MBZ] Becker Europa
Hi All, I'm trying to fix the Becker Europa in the 74 240D. I see a standard car radio antenna jack, but the FM works so poorly that I wonder if there is a separate jack for a FM antenna. Is this the case? Thanks, Bruce -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Nope. Welcome to the limited signal capturing capability of the early solid state Beckers. They suck.

Re: [MBZ] 124 parking brakes and drive shaft
One was worn down to the metal backing, all of them were severly cracked. I'm guessing that the car was driven with them one at some time in it's past. There are adjustments both at the shoes, like any other drum brake system, and at the cable Y junction - I left the shoe adjusters collapsed all the way in , and made a minor adjustment at the Y to get 4 clicks of the pedal to activate the brakes.

They'll just tell you he was in a marked car, so laws don't apply to him. I personally know a state police lieutenant (former state highway trooper) who jumped all over a trooper for pulling him over when he was doing 95 in a 70 zone in a state motor pool car (not even an unmarked squad). If I were the trooper that he mistreated, I would have arrested him for reckless driving and refused to back down.

[MBZ] Huzza! Huzza! Huzza!
Three hearty cheers for Chris McCann! Sent Gump's injectors his way and in a few weeks he had them back to me looking SWEET! He set pop pressure within 50psi of each other, all in the 1525-1550 range. Spent today installing the injectors and delivering SWMBA to work after she dropped the E300D off for brake service. Gump heads off for a front end Tuesday, so I have to have her running. Put the anti seize on each pretty injector and carefully spun them home. Then popped the torque wrench to just right. I had cleaned up the metal lines while they were off and got them on with some fudging around because the clamp was loose and angles were wonky. Put fuel lines back on, tighten up the caps on the tops and pumped fuel through. No leaks. Put the key in and glow, then crank. No light off because the battery was out of service for two months. Put the charger on and go make some rain barrels out of garbage cans. Doing my day of service as requested by our enlightened president. Once the battery was ready, hopped in and cranked her until she lit. Injector one is spilling copious amounts of fuel. Shut off and scratch head. Figured out why you may as well just use all new lines. Had broken two of the lines on removal, so had cut some new, but line at #1 was shot and leaking. Fresh line, no leaking there and light up again. Huffing noise and smoke from the injector area, but no visible wet or bubble that I can see. Get the claw foot out and snug up the end of the hard lines all over. Still huffing and puffing. Close the hood and take her around the block a few times to seat everything, just in case. Get back and pop the hood. Still huffing and puffing. Lean over for better look, hand on the dip stick, which snicks into place, no more huffing. Hard to tell right off if this has reduced the massive smoke out the back. Will have to do more cold starts. The smoke is now more grey than black or blue at cold idle. Have not gotten her good and hot to see if that reduces smoking. Might need to redo the rings. That is a job for another year. Will have to drive Gump for another five years. In that time will redo the head, get her painted, replace the leaking engine seal between crank and transmission, replace cracked windscreen and get all new window seals. clay ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
