INTRODUCTORY SALE: If you are going to "take on" servicing or repairing an old sunroof that does not work or that has been neglected, we are now offering all of Kent's non-tilting sunroof related manuals and video instructions in one package.
This on-demand instructional video was filmed to go with Kent's new fuel tank sending unit service kit launched in June of 2020. This is not a complete video on the subject of fuel level sending units. For the complete video see related products below.
If your fuel gauge stops working or is not reading accurately, many times it can be repaired by removing it from the fuel tank, taking it apart and giving it a good internal cleaning of the contact points, float shaft, and wires.
We have been talking about this for years. It was Ryan who got a friend to make this for us. It is a very high-quality vinyl with a special stick adhesive that "breathes" and does not allow bubbles to get trapped during application.
This is a very critical and very neglected filter located inside the fuel tank.
In this 7+ minute instructional video, you will learn how to cleanly and safely drain the fuel out of your old Benz.
This 23-minute video will demonstrate how Kent repairs some small rust spots inside the fender wells of a W116 sedan. Disclaimer: This method of repair is not recommended for large rust holes under the car or for holes that have been caused by road salt.
When the motor won't move the window down you can not get to the bolts that hold the regulator to the glass. So then how can you get it out of the door! What a pain! In this xxx minute video Kent will show you what you need to do in order to get a "stuck" power window regulator out of a door.

Hard to believe we took so long to come up with this tool. It was Gerson's genius that made it happen. The secret turned out to be the hook that keeps the tool in place while stretching out the rubber donut. Wow! What a cool tool.
Socket is now black (impact grade). This is a tool that Kent first thought about making 20 years ago. While installing shock absorbers in his 380SL he had finally had enough - so it was back to the machine shop to come up with a new tool.

These are very high-quality brake pads and fit many different models. Brake pad paste included. Watch the video below to see why these are Kent's favorites.
If you are experiencing minor coolant loss on your older model that has the cap on the radiator, it may because you do not have the correct cap. Not all caps are created equal as Kent will point out in the video below:
This is the type of radiator that will require this cap.
Have you ever had a hard time finally a very small coolant leak? Do you find yourself adding small amounts of coolant but can not see any leak? Is there a funny smell coming from inside your Benz when you run the heater?
In this video, Kent will walk you through the steps needed to convert your older Brake Bleeder tank to one that can continue to bleed brake systems as well as pressure test radiators and cooling systems.
This was a good working unit before taken apart. All the internal parts are very usable. This will give you some repair spares for the future.
BACK IN STOCK!!! JUNE 2023
Many uses for this quality hard steel tool including removing W123 and early W126 motor mount bolts.
This is a "must-have" kit when adjusting release "pop" pressures on older diesel mechanical fuel injectors. It is the internal spring "shim" thickness that determines the exact pressure required for the release of fuel at the tip of the injector.
On a regular basis, Kent and Gerson custom make tools to make certain jobs go easier and faster. So is the case with this long reach ratchet. It was developed to get glow plugs out of the older diesel engines without having to remove the hard lines.
You will receive two (2) five liter bottles more than enough to do a full oil change on any vehicle:
If you acquire an older Mercedes diesel and want to test those large Bosch injectors with your V3 gasoline bench tester, you will need 4 things to complete the conversion: 3000 PSI gauge, our new capture bottle to hold the larger injectors, injector sealing kit, and Kent’s written manual and vid
Published in August of 2019, this has been one of the most requested videos over the past two previous years.
This price is for TWO nuts as shown. If you find you can not accurately adjust one of your older diesel engine valve clearances it usually means the threads on the lower adjusting nut are stripped. New ones are getting harder to find so we are offering good used as an alternative.
Please, what you see is exactly what will receive. These are mostly from OM616 and OM617 diesel engines and related transmissions and may NOT all be from the same vintage or chassis model. Study the picture carefully. Only one exactly like this.

This video will not only save the condition of your door panel, but it will save you a lot of time and frustration when you go to replace a door panel after doing maintenance inside your door. Those old plastic film liners always seem to be torn, ripped, and downright ugly.
This video is specifically for setting up and using Kent's newest version of his diesel fuel injector bench mount tester. It does not contain any information on the actual process of cleaning or rebuilding a fuel injector.

If you own one of the early Mercedes overhead camshaft engines from the mid-1950's up to the mid-1970s that have mechanical (non-self-adjusting) lifters this is a MUST HAVE tool!
This is one set that will pretty much do it all: door panels, radio, windows, interior trim, exterior trim, engine, fastener plugs, seals, etc. Strong enough to even change a bicycle tire...
Get rid of that old and ineffective transmission fluid in your older power steering system. It is the number one cause of excessive gear wear in your steering box. This is our partial kit that does not include the fluids so it can be shipped by air mail. Please study the pictures here.
Kent video instructions will take you through the process of flushing out the old automatic transmission fluid and replacing it with modern enhanced power steering fluid. This procedure was filled on a W108 280SE 6 cylinder sedan.
Get rid of that old and ineffective transmission fluid in your older power steering system. It is the number one cause of excessive gear wear in your steering box. This kit will include almost everything you will need to do this yourself, along with complete step-by-step video instructions.
This is the hose on the left side of your engine that seems to always rot and leak power steering fluid. If you look closely at it you will most likely see small cracks in the hose. This is the larger size hose used on those early models with power steering from the early 1960's through 1976.
UPS ground shipping only. Can not be shipped internationally. Rather than try to explain what this kit does and how it does it we are going to ask you to watch the video below if you have not already done so.
SUPER NICE. Very good chrome. No flaking and all taps on back side intact.
If you have a reasonably good front seat bottom that is just a little HARD to sit on for any length of time then this "booster" kit may help solve your problem.
Our seat spring repair kit has been a great success! It can easily repair sagging on broken front seat springs. But what about seat padding. A lot of the older ( 1970's to 1980's glued fiber seat padding can crush down and even disintegrate over time.
ONLY ONE AVAILABLE. Good used chrome ring around headlight bulb as shown. No dents and bright chrome.
Center vent parts as shown.
Kent finally went to work to solve the problem of rusty water pump mounting bolts. Once the problem was studied carefully the solution became obvious. Watch the video for a full explanation and partial instructions below.
