Re: [MBZ] 300TD hatch struts
I have heard this before. But the strut bolts on my 79 TD came out with an ordinary (manual) socket set.

Re: [MBZ] 300TD hatch struts
The heat I used was a 1/2 inch air wrench with 120 psi air supply. It spun them right out. On install, I cleaned the threads with a wire brush and used a dot of red loctite, torqued to spec [don't ask what the spec is, I don't remember, but I remember looking it up, at the time.] As someone suggested, make sure the torque bit is seated properly before applying force, removal or install. Think of it as a fun adventure... ;)) ... the fun is not getting whacked in the head once you replace the struts.. I did mine about 4 years ago, used it today and still works like new.

Re: [MBZ] Citric acid flush
You can still get powder detergent, at least my local Target carries it, I know because I recently bought a box of Tide powder to try it on some grease-stained shirts. It seems to me that it does a better job on grease stains than the liquid detergent. I now use it for kitchen towels and any clothing with grease spots.

Re: [MBZ] Citric acid flush
I went to the local hardware store and the guy there said they used to have it, for cleaning water softeners. But he couldn’t find any so I ordered a 5lb bag from Bozos. It will be interesting to see what it does. I put some dishwasher detergent in and warmed the engine and drove it a bit. Temp is kinda bouncing around 80-100C, I noticed the electric fans are not kicking on so will need to see what that’s about. I was thinking maybe the thermostat but that’s probably ok. I also noticed that the overflow fitting on top of the radiator was spewing, a little plastic elbow held on with metal tabs that fits into a hole in the top of the radiator. The metal tabs are loose. What a POS design. I guess that’s where the coolant was going, aside from the failing radiator hose. I’ll have to see what that’s about too.

Re: [MBZ] Citric acid flush
Doesn't everybody have citric acid in stock? ;) I bought 5# back in 2012, 1-3 tbsp per gallon of hot water makes a great cleaner/deruster. I use it for cleaning lantern parts often. I bought another 5# this year but haven't broken in to it yet. Looks like its $26 for 5# on Amazon. -Curt On Saturday, November 20, 2021, 10:38:16 AM EST, dan penoff.com via Mercedes wrote: For what it’s worth, powdered lemon or lemonade drink mix works, too, just be sure it doesn’t have sugar in it.

Re: [MBZ] Moving engine
I looked at a youtuber of rebuilding one, basically some rings that have to be replaced on the ram it looks like, finding the right ones might be the issue as there are no particular markings on the cylinder to show a manf or part number. Some generic chinee thing I guess. There is a hydraulic shop not far away, I'll swing by there this week and see if they have the parts or can do it. If they can maybe I should take my various floor jacks to them too and get them sorted out. --FT On 11/19/21 6:02 PM, Randy Bennell via Mercedes wrote: Had a quick look. $100 Randy On 19/11/2021 4:51 PM, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes wrote: Good idea --FT Sent from iFōn On Nov 19, 2021, at 5:36 PM, Randy Bennell via Mercedes wrote: Have you checked to see what a replacement cylinder will cost at Harbor Freight?

I’m thinking at this point it must be the seals in the main ram itself. I guess I’ll have to see if that comes apart, it looks like the top might screw off. So I moved the E500 engine off my little trailer with no assist other than a coupla straps wrapped around the mounts. (Pro tip: if you’re at a junkyard and need straps to hoist an engine, rip some seatbelts out of a car) I backed up to the container and dropped the ramp onto the bed of it, put down some plywood and basically just walked/dragged it off using the seatbelt straps wrapped around the engine mounts, and pulling on the exhaust manifolds. It worked OK, got my second workout of the day. Fun times. Now I need to get it onto some kind of rollabout so I can move it around easier.

Re: [MBZ] Citric acid flush
Yes, you need to de-oil the system first. Laundry detergent is good since it doesn’t bubble up much.
