[diesel_mercedes] alternator bracket replacement

 

I need the alternator bracket replaced on the 84 300sd. MB quoted 250 part, and 450 labor. The shop that replaced the alternator quoted 250 for the part and I will find out tomorrow how much for labor. Do they have to lift the engine to replace? Anyone done this before and can describe the job for me, and maybe a difficulty scale estimate from 1-5.
Performance Products has the part for 154.
All opinions welcome.

Thanks

Chuck

[diesel_mercedes] 83 300SD Aftermarket Radio Removal?

 

Hi folks, I'm still trying to get to my hazard switch and am stuck at the aftermarket Alpine radio.

I went to Walmart and PepBoys and they both have $15 "kits" but I either just want the cheapo tools themselves OR some nifty thrifty DIY solution.

Someone mentioned hacksaw blades somewhere on the internet...but I don't have those either ;) Without a good visual, I can't picture how these are in there, therefore I can't come up with something on my own.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!
