Re: [diesel_mercedes] Cardone Rebuilt Drive Axles @ Rockauto

 

Thanx Rob ;

Remember to drain the  final drive first then allow it to drip along while, once you have it open you'll need to mop out all the remaining gear oil and after the new (rebuilt) axles are in you need to clean the sealing surfaces with brake cleaner (I use starting fluid) then coat with gaskachinch just before you install the cover ~ there's no gasket so cleanliness is critical here .

Don't forget to add a Harbor Freight rare earth disc magnet to the inside of the drain and fill plugs ! .

[diesel_mercedes] I Fixed It Too Much

 


Oh, damn .

I soaked my spare W123 fuel sender for a couple days in that purple cleaner stuff I get at COSTCO / SAMS CLUB and dilute 50 % with water, it was *so* clean and fresh looking !.

I installed it without testing, filled the tank and parked the car .

Sunday I pulled it out and the fuel gauge was on "E" and the low fuel lamp wasn't lit so I drove it to the filling station forgetting I'd filled it, oops .

Now I have to go clean up the one I just took out that wasn't working 100 % properly .

I think maybe the de greaser stuff soaked and killed the float Emoji .

For now I'll use the trip odometer as a fuel gauge .

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Cardone Rebuilt Drive Axles @ Rockauto

 

I just ordered 2 Cardone's though an Amazone seller. $114/ each, with $55/ each core rebate, if you return them.

Will be watching a few YouTube videos on this one, as I've not done axles before.

The next few weekends are too busy, so I'll be on it after that.

I now see that. Rock Auto has them cheap enough. Cardone 609022. Less the $60. Shipping Fed-Ex is cheap enough. O'Reilly does not show them at all, so chances are the big auto parts places will look at you like you have two heads.

Brian,

Anytime I put more spare parts in my trunk, I think of you.

You seemed to keep everything in there.

I just turned 79 and also am not excited about crawling under the car - not sure I have enough muscle power anymore.
