Yeah, I called Campbell Nelson today, and they said Aurora was really the only Benz yard in the entire area--sad.

Friendz really only does the pre-80's cars. IIRC, they overloaded the storage space and no longer purchase, in an attempt to clear stock.

Re: [MBZ] Hello Seattle!!
Aurora Auto Wrecking is the only place for more recent items. None of them are open Sunday. Except the PnP, and their is no way a 124 will show up there for another ten years unless it is smooshed.

Re: [MBZ] Hello Seattle!!
BFH and I go wayy back. But, he can't help much in this instance. Due to the design of this silly thing, there's no way to support the front of the carrier without destroying the backing plate. And, there's simply not enough room or purchase area to support it from the backside, either. Ma Benz wanted you to use their tools and no others. Reinhard says his boyz use a slide hammer to pull the hub, then the bearing, while it's on the car. This job really is set up to do in situ--my bad.

This is where I reach for a BFH and a heavy chunk of steel to serve as a punch. What are you going to do, wreck it? That's pretty much where you are already. Shouldn't need any heat until it's time to put on the beads, nor any fine tools until it's time to try to put in the new bearing.

Then I'd have to torch the offending bits out of the center. Then run the beads...then...hey, life's too short for this shit. In retrospect, I should've just bit the bullet and dropped the car off, and let someone else fret and fuss with it.
