[diesel_mercedes] Caliper Service

 

As long as your rebuilt kit has the special O-Rings to seal the halves to - gether, why not ? .

If you have problems, re assemble and exchange @ your FLAPS .

This heat is killing me too .

We got stuck in a traffic jam on the Grapevine on i5, it reached 127° F for a while .

Hey Nate, is there any reason to not split these calipers? They are really hard to get into the bore to clean. As long as there is no o-rings or a gasket , it sure looks easy to break them in half for cleaning. What do you think? I am really tired of summer. Hot, hot and then hotter. Haven't been able to see for weeks due to smoke, smells like a campfire 24/7. Uck. Max

....years ago.

I purchased a running, but rusty 85 300SD.

At the time, I was in the process of restoring an 84. 

The fuel tank has never been connected, in the time I've owned it..  I had a two gallon tank from an old generator..

...40 miles without stopping was plenty to teach my daughter to drive, etc.

My beloved SD gave its life protecting my girl, 3 years ago.

I'd hoped to replace it.

But now my daughter is applying for vet school.

...and cash for her dreams is more important than mine.  Ya know.

There's nothing exceptional going on here.

It wasn't a restoration candidate in my mind.. 5 or more years ago.

The interior is complete.. It'd be good, if you had a running car, and wanted to send it off for upholstery..  

The body was a burgandy color.

The hood and trunk are straight. Odds and ends are okay.

I'm sure for the right buyer.  I can throw in a few boxes of filters, parts.. You know, stuff we accumulate..  

More than willing to photograph anything you're specifically interested in..

It sits for months, routinely, but fires up like new if I attach a battery and let her run.  She shifts cleanly.  

I've kept the valves adjusted, changed the oil yearly, even if it hasn't gone a hundred miles.

...it's in Toledo ohio. I'll assist in sending her down the drive.

Make me an offer..

I'm saddened to post this..
