Re: [MBZ] Polei goes to the Doctor
Ignorance is bliss. Had I know that the thing was basically unsafe at any speed above a walk, I may have take a moment or two more to consider the project. Not that it would have really stopped me. I am sort of confounded that the whole braking system was just crap and one pedal push away from killing me. Given the work into the brakes I have done, the estimate to make it right was cut to a third or the last estimate which did not include this new area of failure. clay > On Nov 1, 2016, at 6:36 PM, Jim Cathey via Mercedes > wrote: > > Some days you're the windshield, some days you're the bug.

[MBZ] Polei goes to the Doctor
The brakes finally beat me. I used the vacuum pump method to attempt to bleed, but just ended up with bubbles. I hooked the shop vac to a bunch of reducers and mated that to the bleed vessel. All that did was make bubbles. The soft lines out back would not release. Not with the 11mm line wrench, not with the blue wrench, not with a 7/16 wrench. The parking brake shoes did not look bad, but the surface looked to be really thin. I have a replacement set of shoes and springs, so did not try to adjust the old shoes so that I could put the fresh rotors on with ease. I was able to get her off the ramps and even stopped! I was not sure that would happen. The parking brake did not engage, not a surprise. Front brakes were no worse for wear. I called the local brake shop and let them know what was up. They agreed to use my new parts if there were a need. Sounded good, so I made an appointment for this morning. I got in right on time, talked to the tech while he had the car up on the lift and we went over what I had done, what was not happening and what he thought he could do. Turned out he misunderstood what the hang up was, but once he clued in that there was nothing in the hard line coming from the front, he quit futzing around with the rear lines and dropped the car to take a look at the front of the car around the reservoir. AND THERE we found the offending leak out the front line that heads to the rear hard line. The Brake Line God was out for a few days, as he had a fresh baby that was popped out of the oven a few months early and is residing in the NICU. The tech working my car was good for doing brake jobs, but not for making lines. That put a damper on the day, so I swallowed hard, agreed to wait a day and contemplate the need for extensive brake line replacements. My bending is pretty ok. The lines are easy enough to play with. The flaring, and spatial orientation is not that hot yet. I will need to do much more practice to get both of those talents viable. The brake issues just seemed to build on each other, so time for a guy with a lift, a roof, and knowledge to tackle this, instead of a shade tree monkey out in the rain squirming around in the muck. As a consolation, after walking the two miles home (buses just do not run the way a person wants to go) in the rain, I rebuilt an ATE caliper set for installation on the parts shelf to be available for either the R107, or any future w114/115/116/123/126. clay 2002 s430 - Victor, a Stately & well tailored chap 1974 450sl - Frosch - Two tone green 1986 SDL - Polei retired models- 1976 300D - Blei Vanst - it looks silvery 1972 220D - Gump - She was green, simple and ran 1995 E300D - Gave her life to save me against a Dame in a SUV POS 1987 SDL - Beware Nigerian Scammers ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

[MBZ] Deoxit Tale
A few months ago the Genie screw type overheard door began acting up, so I sprayed all the moving parts with a Liquid Wrench preparation that was specifically for overhead doors. It worked fine after that treatment for 2 or 3 weeks, then started acting up again. I sprayed it again, and it behave again for a week or ten days. Then it began even stranger kinds of behaviour and I began to suspect an electronic problem since the infrared safety beam would flicker after each of its conniptions. Finally, I called an internet company that specialized in overhead door parts, and they suggested replacing the main circuit board, so I ordered one. I had already sprayed Deoxit on the infrared units connections and the connectors on the circuit boards, but had not removed and re-installed them, so on a hunch I managed to pull the connector on the PC board partially out and soak it with Deoxit. The door still acted up. So much for Deoxit. A day later I pushed the button to raise the door, expecting I would have to move it up and down until it fully opened, but the door smoothly opened like it did when it was new 20 years ago. On return from town it also worked flawlessly. It's been doing that now for several days, so fingers are crossed, but I have a feeling that corrosion in the PC boards main connector was the cause, and that the door is fixed. Time will tell, and if it does mess up again, the new board will be on the shelf. The point is that Deoxit has made the door open and close like a new one. Gerry P.S. I use liquid Deoxit which comes in a pump type can. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
