[MBZ] W108 power window motor removal

Greetings, Any tricks to getting the electric window motor out of the driver's door on a W108? Headed the pick n pull on Saturday and it has been so long I don't remember how to do it. No 12V of course, so "rolling it down" isn't an option. Thanks for any tips. D.

[MBZ] Lubricant for Protecting Tools

This is way off topic, but I am looking for some advice and you guys are a rich source of information. Some tools and hardware were exposed to moisture and I am drying them out. Some of the tools have surface rust. Using a minimum of time, I want to rub a light coating of oil on these. Don't want

There has to be another, non-polluting way. That will not be allowed. On Fri, Sep 10, 2021, 2:31 PM G Mann via Mercedes wrote: > Great idea, except for the huge cloud of toxic emissions created by burning > composite materials, all on the HAZMAT list. > OOps ! > > On Fri, Sep 10, 2021 at 9:21 AM
