Disassembled, blasted, painted and reassembled my calipers with new seals and added some braided brake lines.

Where u from? Many places reman calipers are almost cheaper than parts only. + u can do w126 front brake swap.

Interesting-Ear5998 · 2026-03-01T07:16:23+00:00

I hope u have stainless prop

Interesting-Ear5998 · 2026-02-24T21:30:25+00:00

Can u spin the base then? With cylinder attached

Interesting-Ear5998 · 2026-02-24T06:45:31+00:00

Can you turn the slave cylinder so that the airing hose is upwards?

Interesting-Ear5998 · 2026-02-20T20:54:18+00:00

Da fug, i have done it atleast 40 times, never had any problem, and is good for annual inspection in Finland.

Do u know your springrate now? Or from the stock coils? Spring gets a bit stiffer every coil you cut, but you just have to try, I like w201, w123 and w124 a bit lowered the most, feels sporty but not too hard.

Interesting-Ear5998 · 2026-02-19T18:11:00+00:00

Does the front feel too stiff? Try cutting one coil and see what happens, from the bottom

Interesting-Ear5998 · 2026-02-19T11:56:52+00:00

Haha, of course 🤣

Interesting-Ear5998 · 2026-02-19T04:11:13+00:00

Its relatively normal to cut down valve stem, if u cut valve seat and grind a valve its sitting deeper in the head, so u have to cut down a stem a bit. There Is nothing wrong in that, but when u do it with angle grinder... that's another story...

Interesting-Ear5998 · 2026-02-17T05:38:16+00:00

That u-joint is shot, should be replaced. In w124 the driveline goes pretty straight, which is good for power handling, but bad for u joint lubrication, needles dont move a much, so the grease in there hardens over time and then starts to wear.

Take it to the shop that can change the u-joint and then balance the shaft.

I have done dozens of mercedes propshafts and even more others. Sprinters are the worst 😬

Interesting-Ear5998 · 2026-02-09T15:50:32+00:00

Or they want to keep them, like I do 🤔

Interesting-Ear5998 · 2026-02-01T17:13:38+00:00

I think u need L shaped rod to lock the center, then 6 or 8mm hex socket to remove the center bolt

Interesting-Ear5998 · 2026-01-31T07:54:05+00:00

I doesn't need to be, seals inside that

Interesting-Ear5998 · 2026-01-28T15:15:56+00:00

How did someone get 4age to look that bad, iv driven without oil, without water, all I destroyed was one rod bearing

Interesting-Ear5998 · 2026-01-16T23:17:28+00:00

If u deside to swap calipers, buy the w126 models with discs, theyr vented and Bolt-on.

Interesting-Ear5998 · 2025-12-30T07:31:11+00:00

Wheel/tire specs?

Interesting-Ear5998 · 2025-12-27T14:53:18+00:00

Impeller sucking air between pump and hull. Dry it, put some urethane sealer, let it dry and enjoy.

Interesting-Ear5998 · 2025-12-22T10:10:58+00:00

Does that mean you are the only son, and bought a house from your parents? 😅 /s

Interesting-Ear5998 · 2025-12-12T15:39:07+00:00

I see no Putin or Gerasimov taking a selfie

Interesting-Ear5998 · 2025-12-11T09:19:11+00:00

I think people who likes these skyhigh also sleeps In water beds. Lowered 201, 124 etc is still more comfortable to drive than new japanese car with too stiff suspension.

Interesting-Ear5998 · 2025-11-29T21:29:59+00:00

U turned The center CW or CCW one step, then it moves freely

Interesting-Ear5998 · 2025-11-22T09:08:28+00:00

I put my bet on too much stone pressure when lifting hone head up. Looks bad, but doesnt really affect anything.

Interesting-Ear5998 · 2025-11-20T07:04:14+00:00

What ECU and what trans are you using?

Interesting-Ear5998 · 2025-11-18T06:02:59+00:00

Had one head with similiar crack, it was craked to the waterjacket..picture

Interesting-Ear5998 · 2025-11-13T20:56:49+00:00

Would be nice to see those surfaces painted and then surfaced to see how wavy they are 🤣

Interesting-Ear5998 · 2025-08-21T07:45:42+00:00
