Re: [MBZ] Thrashed Threshold

That could work.

I’m pretty sure I can slide the new one in from the interior side of the door.  
I just have to get an idea of the profile so I get something that will fit or 
at least occupy most of the space, the rest of which I can fill with caulk.

[MBZ] Preliminary Front End Work

Wife’s SL500 had a really sloppy inner tie rod end that was discovered last 
week during a routine alignment.  Shop quoted me $220 to do the tie rod 
including parts.  Ouch.

Got a Lemförder tie rod from the Amazonians for $50 that’s on UPS for delivery 
this afternoon.

In an effort to be efficient, I got under the car as soon as I got home in 
order to remove the offending tie rod.  Got my HF ball joint popper tool out, 
put it on the outer tie rod end and had at it.

Didn’t budge.

Tap-tap-tap-tap. TAP-TAP-TAP-TAP-BOOM!

Wow.  I knew it was going to pop, but I don’t think you’re ever completely 
prepared for one of these things to let go. Darned near soiled myself.

The inner is a lot tougher, since it’s buried in the undercarriage with minimal 
clearance.  I could barely turn the wrench 10-15 degrees at a time.  Got it 
good and tight, then beat the crap out of it.

POP!

Done.  The HF tool has paid for itself already.  Car is ready for the new tie 
rod, which the UPS guy is just now pulling up with.

Back to the garage…

Use one of those flush cutting oscillating saws and cut it off flush with
the door jamb, then just set a new standard one in place, trimmed to fit. A
bit of caulk between what's left of the old one and the ends of the new,
and you're set to go.

Yikes.  That’s a pretty severe approach for replacing a threshold.  It’s under 
the edges of the door frame and the stop molding on both sides, but if I cut it 
out from the center I can pull the pieces out without damaging the frame.  Once 
it’s out I should be able to slip the new threshold in from the interior side.

Re: [MBZ] W126 Front End Rebuild

i was trying to find the list of stuff I ordered from Jabba, at least I 
think I did.  Can't find it so sent him an email to see if he might have it.

That would be great.  Anything you can pass along would be appreciated.

I have a plate type spring compressor I got for the W140s, so I’m good there.  
I don’t have a local machine shop identified, so I need to do that as I’ve 
never had to farm anything out around here.  My tire guys do front end work, so 
I’m pretty sure I can get them to press the ball joints and all that since I 
have a good relationship with them.

Both upper and lower ball joint boots are shot, so I’m assuming the joints are 
on their way out as well.  LCA bushings actually look pretty good from what I 
can see, but if I have to go that deep into the front end it seems silly to 
skip replacing them.

I have a big compressor, a big rattle gun and pickle forks (but not for the gun 
- I can get some of those at HF, I’m guessing.)  I also have all the W126 
manual operations for the work.  I would probably replace the front brake discs 
while I’m there as they aren’t far away from hitting the wear limits, and the 
pads are more than half gone, too.  I’m assuming I would need a ball joint 
separator - has anyone determined if the HF one works?

Someone replaced the tie rods in the recent past, as they’re all good and the 
center even still has the Mercedes parts sticker hanging from it.  Idler arm 
bushing can probably be done as well.  It’s not sloppy, but there’s a boatload 
of grease around the ends which makes me suspect its integrity.

Not sure I want to go MB on this, as the upper control arms are stupid 
expensive as are the lowers.  I’m having a tough time finding everything in 
Lemforder, too.  I see Meyle and Febi, with Febi being the cheapest (money 
would not be a major concern if I was doing this for a handoff to the oldest 
boy, but I’m not paying $300 to MB for a part I can get for under $100 
elsewhere, either.)  Anything I would buy aftermarket I would go to FCP Euro 
since they have lifetime replacement.  That way if it wears out in a couple of 
years I can get a new one from them gratis.

I've done the 123 and 126, easy enough to do, the manuals give all the details, 
just go through methodically and do it.  Parts for the 126 maybe 3-4 years ago 
were about $900 for everything (and I probably replaced more than was needed 
but it was ALL renewed).  I got all the stuff from Jabba so can dig out the 
order list of all the parts.  I figured as long as I was doing the job the 
marginal cost of parts was minimal.  I think I did new break rotors and pats at 
the time too just because it was all apart, and you will want to clean and 
grease the bearings.

A BFH and air hammer (with pickle forks and chisels) are your friends for BJs 
and steering bits.  I have the spring compressor if you need to borrow it (and 
I think you do need it, it is still under compression with the LCA lowered).  I 
took new BJs to a shop to have them use the tool to press in, cost maybe $30 
and took about 15min.  Bushings (subframe mounts too) are easy enough with a 
biggish vise.  A rattle wrench is your friend too just to make easy work of 
losening everything.

I have some pics I took of some of the process, I can send them along if I can 
dig them out.

Then you'll need to take it to a good shop for an alignment.

The only thing I should have done was to try to adjust the steering box, it is 
still a bit lose.

How is the door jamb held in?
I would think the way to repair it would be to remove the whole door 
frame and replace the threshold, and then re-install it.
You should be able to get an aluminum threshold so you won't have that 
problem in the future.

[MBZ] Monday 300SEL Fun

2017-03-13 Thread Dan--- via Mercedes

Drove the car to work today, a 50-50 mix of surface streets and highway.  Other 
than the serpentine belt screeching like a banshee when I was heading out (I'm 
sure the neighbors loved that at 6:00 am) the drive was relatively dull. I did 
notice a very low and almost imperceptible rumble that could be a driveshaft 
center bearing or the front flex disc that has a small crack in it. That or I'm 
just being overly paranoid, which I find sort of strange since I had no problem 
driving the car almost 60 miles home on a bad wheel bearing

Got my 5% discount on an order for a new belt tensioner and adjustment rod from 
FCP Euro. They should be here by the end of the week along with an Amazon order 
for 20 meters of the hard vacuum line.  Lots of vacuum line needs replacement 
in this car's engine compartment, believe me.

Re: [MBZ] I want

I bought some subsonic .22LRs a coupla weeks ago I have not tried yet,
the guy at the gun shop said they might not work the semi-auto rifle as
they don't have much kick. I guess the pellet gun has more velocity (it
is maybe 1150 fps) but not very accurate. I have a 16g semi-auto but
that is probably overkill for rodents, and shells are hard to find for
some reason. I should look around for a .410.

.410 is perfect for dispatching all manner of rodentia. Dad has a single barrel
that is always my go-to. It has taken uncountable numbers of porcupine,
squirrels, and partridge.
