Yes that makes sense. They're tell the technician not to have the dial
indicator just barely touching the spindle. Actually 2 mm is just
barely touching but i guess it's enough. If that's all there is too it,
seem like a strange direction on how to use a tool when a lot of
knowledge is

Haynes is usually pretty good but this is a Mercedes and good
information is hard to come by including Haynes.
They make reference to turn the pistons so the recesses are at a 20
degree angle from the bottom of the caliper. First they haven't told
me if they are referring to an ATE or Bendix
Thanks, I will give it a shot.

only used Mobil 1, so no idea if Amsoil is any less of a product, but I
would doubt. Drain the TC when you do the fluid so you have a true clean
system.

possibly meeting an emissions criteria so I'm not going to worry about
it. Again, thanks all.

Wanted some advise or thoughts on using Amsoil ATF in my 85 Turbo. It is
a synthetic rated as a Dexron II and III replacement. One mechanic I
respect thought it was bad idea to use for reasons of causing leaking
seals and the like in an older tranny. The tranny has been serviced
regularly
I think it is, at least this year, occurring most often with
Republican's... age may be a contributing factor. You could check with
Bob Dole.

I found a right fender in good shape at a Pick and Pull. The problem
was getting the thing off of the vehicle. They use some sort of putty

using heat to soften it and I had a small butane blow torch thing but

The air filter used on my 85 turbo w/ trap oxidizer is $40.
The trap oxidizer was changed to a catalytic converter, any thought on
junkyarding the air filter housing for a model that uses the $16 filter???

My guess was that they wanted a bigger filter to make for cleaner air
(it measures approx 81/4 wide by 7 tall) perhaps to protect the
oxidizer but that is pure speculation.

There are not Fram or other replacement brands out there and if I were
going to pick a reason as to why the cost was high, that would be my
pick; lack of competition. For now I'll just be glad I am not replacing
window seals.
