Re: [MBZ] Removing Dash Ignition on w115
RUN AWAY! If you have done it once, you can do it by feel. Biggest issue I had was getting the dash back in. Just look for all the screws and bolts, label as to where you got them. (pictures are good) and disassemble the whole front. There are three bolts with 10mm nuts holding the dash in. Center and at the far end of the vents. Pull the glass side up then pull the cabin side in toward you. Pick a side (L/R) and lift around A pillar.

Re: [MBZ] Removing Dash Ignition on w115
What he said. I did a 114 years ago to replace the dreaded heater blower (and do some AC work as well) and I still have the scars to show for it. I would add that it took me all of two full days to accomplish the feat, too.

Haven't done my wife's 560 SL yet, but I expect I'll have to. No, I don't want to do another one either, but it's not _that_ bad! They go somewhat faster after you've done one. Still, you do end up pretty much gutting the car... -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Replacing the blower in a 114/115 is a bit more involved than pulling the dash -- BTDT - x2. On Sun, May 2, 2010 at 6:35 PM, Jim Cathey j...@windwireless.net wrote: Wimps!

Re: [MBZ] Removing Dash Ignition on w115
Same time for my first one. I replaced the second one through the center speaker hole - only took all of one day that way. On Sun, May 2, 2010 at 4:57 PM, LWB250 lwb...@yahoo.com wrote: What he said.

Re: [MBZ] Removing Dash Ignition on w115
yank the dash ignition switch from the dash. Anybody here done this before? Only on a 107. Mostly you remove everything that looks like it's in the way, especially the center console, and remove the three (?) mounting nuts that hold the dash in. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
