[diesel_mercedes] Re: Re : Master Cylinder Service W126

 

Nate...

I considered "stealing" the master off my '85 SD "parts car" but-- I guess I'm not ready to say "goodbye" to Mildred.. *even though I could use the space* Had the reservoir broke-- it would've been a donor..

I bought my first set of speedbleeders for my BMW (motorcycle) probably 10 years ago. When I replaced them on my '97 Passat TDI, the SPEEDBLEEDERS were $7, the plain replacement bleeders were $15 each almost everywhere (more than that from the stealership). They were pretty rounded by previous owner(s).. Some people don't realize how LITTLE torque you need to close a bleeder valve. ;)

Anyway--

They're simple enough my daughter will be able to do her own-- and yes, I'm teaching the 16 year old lady to care for this beast. I'm hoping I can make it a resto-daily driver, she can keep "forever..." :)

[diesel_mercedes] thinking of selling it all.....

Hi gang...
well, I may need to drastically downsize.......and as such, may need to let
all my diesels MBZ's go.
Sad as it is, I need to simplify, and don't really go anywhere much, and
having all this iron sitting around, seems to not make sense.
And yes, I'm getting rid of a bunch of stuff not just MBZ's.....but I'm just
putting them here first.
I want it all to go at one time.

the list: (photos of all are in the galleries on both sites)

86 300 SDL, dark blue 185K miles, extra studded snow tires, complete (blown
head) EXTRA 87 300 SDL, same color inside and out, cd player.
new radiator, fan, fan clutch (from deer impact posted here two years ago).
good tires, brakes.
everything works, A/C blows cold, but needs charging once per year.

78 240D 4 sp, seafoam green, also extra studded snow tires on rims, manual
windows, elect sunroof.
A/C worked, but removed all parts in trunk. very basic, very dependable car.
no antennae, but radio works.
EXTRA 123 300D for parts, no engine.

83 300D brown/palomino....runs great, smashed (totaled) left rear quarter
panel. good tires, brakes, well maintained. the rest of the body is really
good, but it got slammed in the rear quarter. drove it here, and parked on
blocks.

72 220D 4 spd. all manual black/ dark red
cracked head.

all cars show normal to less than normal wear. all well maintained.
"parts" cars all rolling stock, but have some parts gone.
also have misc parts and "stuff".


I'd like 10K for the whole lot.
but here, will entertain offers or trades.


any input, is welcome.

thanks
Henry

[diesel_mercedes] Re : Master Cylinder Service W126

 


With a life time warranty and you taking the time to both correctly clean the black sludge out of the resivoir and bleed it fully , it'll prolly be fine for decades .

When I did used cars , I occasionally used used master cylinders as they're well over $100 new and this beats up the profit margin . no worries , I never had a failure nor come back .

Some times I bench bleed but not if the underhood paint is nice .

I use a $50 tank typ pressure bleeder , it works great and only takes 15 minutes tops to flush and bleed out the entire system , you are correct , when the brake system is bled and has good pads , the power M-B brakes are a bit touchy .

One of these days I want to try speed bleeders .

Yes , ATE , Girling and Bendix all supplied brake parts to Mercedes , just never have mis - matched on each axle and you'll be fine .

[diesel_mercedes] Re: pedal to the metal (a sinking feeling) w126

 

I know some will spew-- but I got reman master cylinder from Autozone. Significantly cheaper, and quicker to the door than some of the "usual" suppliers. Also includes a LT warranty-- which the few I looked at elsewhere didn't. IF it lasts two years, I need to replace fluid anyway.. LOL ;)

$103-15 $15 "gift card for purchase of $100+ online) ($32 core) "$88 delivered to my door.."

**IF you're faced with this repair.. It is NOT the big deal you'd assume it is. If you've replaced brake hoses, or even a caliper-- it's not much different-- just the "other end" of the system.**

...IF you've never used these, or heard of them, may I suggest speedbleeders.

May I also suggest you buy them from my fellow Ohioan Kirby Fleming.

http://kirbysbrakebleeders.ecrater.com/ (he also sells them Ebay-- I think for the same price.)

ALMOST EVERY MERCEDES THEY HAVE A LISTING FOR USES THIS SPEEDBLEEDER..

SB8125LL

You'll need one for each corner.. Kriby sells them for $7 each, with $5 to ship any number anywhere in US..

THIS INCLUDES 123, 124 and 126..

Yes, I do have a mighty vac.. I really like this better.. Maybe because I have to spend less time on the ground next to or under the vehicle.. Or my friends can't borrow it, and not bring it back when I need it..

(advertisement over)

I started with two quarts of fresh fluid, and two cans of brake cleaner spray..

I drained the master cylinder reservoir.. As an ER nurse, I have access to some nice "tools"-- I used a syringe with some oxygen tubing on the end.. You could use a "baby bulb" syringe-- like you get from the dollar store to suck snot out of infants..

Once I got out as much out as I could-- I removed the wires, then I wiggled/jiggled and popped the reservoir off. And I didn't BREAK it! (thank GOD)

It makes it easier to remove the brake lines (11mm flare wrench)

then the master cylinder from the firewall.. (13 mm-- I used a "gear wrench-- perfect for this!)

You'll hear people talk of bench bleeding.. I put a little fluid in the holes the top of the master, and pushed the barrel a couple times.

--and probably didn't need to do that.

I reconnected it to the brake booster, and connected the lines..

I "rinsed" the reservoir with brake part cleaner.. THEN with brake fluid that I DISPOSED of.. Doesn't look new, but it removed the black nastiness inside of it.

I did pull the old pads/replaced the brake hardware from the back.. Then bled right rear, left rear-- right front and left..

I'd been up all night at work-- a two hour mandated "education" piece before I started..

...Using a bottle jack (which was a pain), but I didn't grab a floor jack.. I started at noon, and went and got my daughter at 330. So rear brake pads, a full system bleed, and the master cylinder replacement in 4 hours.

Simple tools-- DO invest in a real flare wrench.. Don't ask me why I know this.. LOL

The brakes-- are working great, actually I could've killed myself on the drive home, because the brakes are now even more "intense" than Mildred-- my "other" SD..

Interesting question.. Were cars BUILT with ATE and BENDIX calipers. No-- front are ATE (the little cotter clips) and BENDIX in the rear (the spring pins..) Or is this peculiar?? Or do I not know what I'm talking about??
