I recall that you have to put a 1" preload on the bearing

Could be. I know the early 126s have the type that unclip inside the
diff, same as these. The later ones have 6 soft-headed socket head
bolts that take a special wrench and strip easily.

Not to malign your wrenching, but I was led to believe that the
diagram is delicate and if not installed just right has a tendancy to
fail quickly. I do not recall what the underlying cause was, but ...

We have gone through a couple too -- I suspect that the metal disks are

So the vac pump diaphragm on Brunnhilde is going bad yet again. This
will be the third one in about 3 years. I think I replaced this one
about a year ago. I can probably change it now in about 3 minutes. Is
there some kind of superduper polymeric material that might be better
than whatever

I have a couple of good axles from the 115 300D for sale. Anyone
here can have first dibs before they are advertised. They fit 107,
114, 115, 116, 123, and early 126, with the clips inside the
differential. They may fit some other models too. I am not sure
about all the models. 108 maybe?

Sure.
Find a plastic putty knife or piece of thin, strong
hardwood. Gently force it under the edge of the trim
near one end, and lever it so it pushes the trim up.
Move down the length of the trim, prying it up as you

You will end up removing the trim along with the outer
