Hi Gene & welcome to the group. This group has a tremendous amount of information for the asking. I'm doing a lot of work on my 1983 300D and have found much good advice here. There is also a great forum for DIY mechanics on the peachparts website (ie www.peachparts.com). Get on the site & click the tab for the forum. There is a lot of archived information there and good tutorials on a variety of jobs. Some of these are saved in a special archived area. If you google peachparts wikka or use this link http://www.peachparts.com/Wikka/DoItYourSelf there are a bunch of very detailed procedures there that I have found very helpful. Right now I'm in the process of changing the rear axles, replacing the parking brakes, the differential is out so I can replace the axle & pinion seals, the drive shaft support bearing was nearly disintegrated so the drive shaft is out as well as the transmission support, and I just pulled the rear wheel hubs this morning to repack the bearings since it was already apart this far. All these jobs & many more are detailed at peachparts. Check it out & let me know what you think.
