Subject: [diesel_mercedes] Where to place floor jack when removing B2 piston in W124

 

I have an 87 300TD. I lost all my forward gears. I suspect a broken B2 Piston. I want to remove the B2 without removing the transmission from the car. The car has is up on stands. I have removed the 4 bolts on the cross bar that holds up the transmission. In order to drop the transmission further in order to access the B2 Piston cover I believe I need to disconect the transmission from the drive shaft. This is accomplished by undoing the flexidisk bolts.

My question is is this correct?

Where do I place the floor jack under the transmision. Currently it is under the transmission mount, but I need to move jack somewhere else to get clear access to the flexidisk bolts. If I place the jack under the Transmission pan I fear I will damage it.

RE: [diesel_mercedes] New starter 82 240D

 

Try doing one on a 5cyl turbo!  I’m R&R’ing the head on my 1979 300SD so pulled the starter and had it rebuilt while I had that whole side open (turbo off, exhaust dropped, etc.)  I paid $145 for them to rebuild my factory Bosch.  Didn’t want to shoot myself later for not doing it while I had the chance.

My 240D starter crapped out on me yesterday afternoon. I picked up a reman at Advance Auto. I had a choice of just the solenoid for $99 or the entire starter including the solenoid for $79. Guess which one I bought.

For this job I needed a 10mm allen socket, a long-handled socket wrench, some PB Blaster, the usual screwdrivers and misc other sockets, and a few very special curse words. I got the starter loose, but had no freaking idea on how to get it out. I struggled with it for 15 minutes, finally jacked the engine up and turned the steering wheel hard to the right. That opened up an exit hole with less than an eighth of an inch to spare. Oh, I momentarily forgot these cars are metric. I had 2mm to spare.

Shoving the new starter back up through the hole restored my memory of muscles I had forgotten I ever had. Those starters feel like they weigh 50 pounds, although in reality they probably aren't heavier than 49.

Once in place, all I had to do was hold the heavy b*st*rd in place and get half a turn of thread to catch and then the hard work would be over. Within thirty minutes I was successful.

The great news is that this same starter also fits my 300D, which is overdue for the same job, albeit a more difficult one from what I have read on this board. The core charge was only ten bucks. They must not really want these old starters turned back in.

    He's running around doing final pre-trip errands just now.

Hi all,
Vie been sort of watching your posts out of the corner of my eye.. Did I see that someone was looking for a W123 Wagon? A friend of mine has one down in the California desert. It's a project car. If you're interested, I'll get you hooked up with him.. I also have a 300CD that I'm going to sell.

RE: [diesel_mercedes] Re: W123 wagon

 

It's a 79 300cd. It's pretty straight body wise. 150k, The car was in the Mojave desert for most of it's life till I brought it up here in 2004. Therefore the interior is shot.. It runs good. It needs new glow plugs and a heater control valve  (which I have) The engine was replaced with an 80 engine. I'm not sure when. It has the late type glow plugs. It also needs a LF window regulator. It's been sitting covered for about a year.
