Are you talking about "my" 91 300D? If so, all the PB parts are in the trunk. Pretty sure they were all in very god condition.

The Genuine Mercedes Instrument Cluster Pull Hooks 140589023300 Dan recommended works for pulling the springs. I bought them from Amazon. I have done it (on our last W124) without them, but, as you said, it's a horrible job. > The right side had no shoes or guts whatsoever. THe left side has > shoes and I think it has all the parts.

Yes there is a t handle thingy that makes it a one minute job. Get some new springs also. And grommets for the cable thru the subframe.
