I've done this for paint prep as well... As for the rain gutter trim, I have fabricated the special tool outlined in the TDM to install the trim, and installed it myself. That's why I don't recommend people take it off. In my case, it had been removed so the car could be painted, and putting the new trim on was a real PITA, not to mention an opportunity to mess up the new paint job.

Re: [MBZ] Details, Details....
I do not recall. All I remember is having to fabricate a driver out of hardwood that was used to hammer the trim on to the drip rail. The black rubber part was separate from the anodized aluminum and snapped on to it after the trim was secured to the drip rail. It is possible the information on the tool was in the service manual.

[MBZ] '91 300E starting
The 300E has been getting slightly harder to start lately. It fires almost immediately, then stumbles or dies, I keep cranking for another 2 or so seconds, then it catches and runs fine. I first thought it could be low fuel pressure, so waited after turning on the key, like I do in a Diesel, but this has no effect. I don;t know if it does this when hot or not, I only get in and drive half an hour, let it sit for the day, then drive back. Guess I need to test this aspect. Is this likely to be a clogged cold-start injector? -- OK Don Panic!

Re: [MBZ] '91 300E starting
Check the condition of the idle control valve hoses -- they crack and give idle and warm start problems. More likley that a bad fuel pump or leaking accumulator.

[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!

I spoke to him on the phone and he sent a deposit and everything... Then the weird starts. He's coming to get it with his friend's truck and doesn't want to scratch the bed up so he wants me to drive 45 minutes from my house to a place with a forklift. Ooooky, well I'm not doin' that for free... He works out a price to placate me which is fine I guess. So I call the place today for directions (so I can get there tomorrow) and fortunately leave my number for the guy who will be helping us who calls me back because he doesn't know whats going on. They're not open on Saturday, the dude buying the engine was supposed to get back to him on how we were going to work this and suddenly it occurs to me that what has happened is the dude has tried to push them into being open on a Saturday which they don't do and just assumed they'd do it... So I'm pissed, I call him and he doesn't answer so I leave voicemail and I email him. He emails me You will need to take the engine there Monday and leave it for me like I've got nothing better to do Monday than drive 45 minutes in the opposite direction from where I work... Thats when it occurs to me, whats to stop him from writing me a bad check or something for payment? He hasn't explained how he's going to pay for it at this point... Anyway his deposit goes in the mail back to him tomorrow, washing my hands of this weirdo.
