Yes, it’s that! The “black death”. I don’t know why they call it that way, when it’s not really deadly at all. Just need a good trick and it can be off in a short matter of time. Do you know, how i did it? Put it in the comments.
I had to do the seal replacement on 2 injectors only. Yet. It has 125000 miles on the clock and still running nice. Somewhere i have seen an article where the owner takes them out regularly after certain miles and changes all the seals. Now that vehicle is over 500.000 miles. I’m not sure about that this is a good idea though.
After the diff came off i had to replace the seal as i have mentioned.
It is tight but it does not stop me :). So i just grabbed an old used brake disc off a vauxhall combo off my fleet. Drilled 2 holes as an extra.Got some A2 steel bolts and 2 pieces of metal bar off of a Hotpoint washing machine installation kit. With these and a huge torque wrench, i just got it off with a light jump on them. Use whatever you can find around as a tool. That’s what i learned at my granddad’s workshop. If you don’t have the right tool, make one!
There is nothing impossible, you just not trying hard enough 🙂
The diff is out finally, it was a real challenge with all the bolts and connectors. But the worst was to let it down due to lack of space. 🙂
Perks of doing it on my driveway. After i have removed everything the next step was to get the diff nut off as the front oil seal was leaking a bit. You would tink Mercedes-Benz equals quality.But sometimes that is just not true.Sadly , because i like MB. I have always trusted my wheels. I had so many differend brands under my ass that i can say i know a little bit about them.
