[diesel_mercedes] free cars

 

Hi gang,
I've just never gotten around to fixing or scrapping the 3 cars I have left. 
If anyone wanted them, and some other misc. parts,  they can have them all, if they take them all. 
1: 1983 300D brown. bashed left rear quarter, but it drove here. One owner until he gave it to his grandson.....started once per year and  ran through the gears, on blocks, nice stereo, been sitting a  long time, but windows closed so mostly just a ton of dust inside. Palomino int.
2: 1983? 300D no engine or trans, Paloimino int. cream/yellow? ext. 
3: 1972 220. Manual 4 spd. trashed engine.  red int. black ext. everything worked when it blew up several years ago. been sitting since.

Nope, I won't part them out. Come over with a trailer, take 'em away. All non-oped.
Location: Grass Valley, CA.

[diesel_mercedes] Caliper Overhaul

 

Pistons are not supposed to be wear items although they're often damaged .

Some W123;s use Phenolic pistons, the worthlees 'rebuilder' who previously did the front calipers on my greymarket wagon fitted them instead of the correct stainless steel pistons .

To remove stuck caliper pistons is easy if messy  : use your hand grease gun, remove the coupler off the end and gently screw it into the hose port and pump away, making DANG SURE it's not facing you as the piston sometimes comes flying out at great speed .

Clean the piston well using aerosol brake cleaner, alcohol or brake fluid and NOTHING ELSE EVER, re assemble using brake fluid to lubricate the seals , most caliper to piston seals are square section O - Rings and have a slight inward taper if you look for it .

Simple if hard and really messy work .

I envy Max's work shop ~ I can imaging puttering away in there surrounded by old things and stunning natural beauty .

Yes, You are right Rob. I,ve been looking at parts and it looks like if you need pistons you are out of luck, or I guess then you have to get calipers. The re-build kits I found only have a seal and a ring. I cant remember if I have ever re-built one of these, I guess not but it looks like one of the easier jobs to do. My 59 Ponton had shoe brakes, two cylinders in the front. Horrible brakes.  Yep, rebuilding, but first I have to clean the shop and clear my benches. Summer has hit. Max

Re: [diesel_mercedes] INSANE GARAGES on FIREBALL MALIBU VLOG

 

I always like to do things the hard way. End up learning more stuff  and hopefully spending less. Hows your car issues going? One smashed and one burnt up, right?   One of my 300TD's was a nice car. It was a daily driver with about 190K. My impatient friend was traveling over a mountain pass one day in a hot summer and he was late for something and did not want to stop when the engine started getting too hot. He overheated it and killed it. All the car needed(as far as I knew) was a engine. He even conned another friend into paying him $1000 for the car. Well it sat at his house for a few years and then he gave it to me.Its still a complete car. Some rats have been in it, but it still might make a decent car. Its yours if you want it. You are the closest  guy on this list to me.. Lots of parts will fit the 240's but I'm getting too messed. up for that. Max
