Have you been having electrical problems in your older Mercedes? Maybe you have taken the fuse box cover off and wiggled a few fuses and it has solved the problem for a while. You probably noticed corrosion on the tips of the old aluminum fuses.
This instruction booklet is meant to be an introduction to simple rust repairs. I have also written a manual that goes into more advanced repairs using Miracle Paint to replace larger rotted sections of sheet metal.
Dirko sealing compound is permanently elastic, cold vulcanizing, silicone-rubber based. Can be used for connecting joints, cylinder head, crankcase, oil sump, timing case, thermostat, water pump, transmission, axles, differential, radiator, chassis.
General-purpose, clear RTV indoor/outdoor sealant. Seals, bonds, repairs, mends and secures glass, metal, plastics, fabric, vinyl, weather stripping and vinyl tops. Protects and repairs electrical wiring. May be applied to horizontal or vertical surfaces. Waterproof and flexible.
Sil-Glyde is a silicone based brake lubricant recommended for the entire brake assembly and is compatible with rubber. It is moisture-proof and heat resistant to +600 degrees F, which means it won't burn-off like other brake noise products.
Unique wax like stick works like Loctite Hi-Tack liquid but without the mess. It is low odor and solvent free. Sets quickly to a very tacky film and seals and holds the heaviest gaskets in place. Resists gasoline, oil and common shop fluids.
Cold Weld sets up in 15 minutes and has a test proven strength greater than 3000 psi after 16 hours. Resistant to most shop fluids including: water, diesel, fuel, gasoline, antifreeze, hydraulic fluids, motor oil, and transmission fluids. Can be drilled, filed, sanded, machined and painted.
This is a must-have if you have a prized Benz or any car you don't drive often!! If you let any of your cars sit for long periods ( generally over 30 days) without driving them, you can ruin your battery, especially if you let it go completely dead.
This is a very handy smaller torque wrench to have in your toolbox. Perfect for spark plugs. It will do fuel injectors but is not quite big enough to torque wheel lug bolts. Range is 5 to 80-foot pounds. The case will be black rather than red.
Nice set of pick tools with plastic handles. They have strong steel tips which allow for more prying and twisting with less tendency to bend the tips as you would with dental pick tools. Note: Quarter is not included! Shown for size reference only
Replace those nuts that keep loosening up with nylock metric nuts that just won't come off. Inside the door panel on the window regulators. Around the engine compartment. Air filter housing nuts. etc. etc.
I have used a lot of different clamping tools over the years to prevent fluids from leaking out when removing coolant, fuel, or brake fluid hoses. Most work ok. Some are hard to use in tight places. Many do not stop every last drip from coming out of the hose.
This set of 5 pick tools have very thin and sharp points. Best set Kent has found to remove orings in hard to get to locations. The variety of angles available allows you to get into almost anywhere to remove and o-ring, sealing ring or other small part.
If you are going to work on your diesel fuel injectors, you are going to need a torque wrench. If you are going to tighten your alloy wheel lug bolts properly, you should use a torque wrench. In fact, if you do your own work, you should have a 1/2-inch clicker torque wrench in your toolbox.
This right angle screwdriver is great for working in tight places - like removing speakers, voltage regulators, distributor caps, etc.
This is one of Kent's favorite tools. Lets you reach into tight places - very long nose curved pliers with teeth - like hemostat. With the locking handles it is amazing what this clamp / pliers can hold - and the tight places it can get into!
January 2019 notice: This filter is now available only in very limited quantities and may not be readily available in the future. This is why we are not able to include it in our full fluid flush kit ( See related products below) This is an often neglected filter.

High quality lubricant to be used when assembling bearings in engines or in components that are oiled by engine oil. This WILL prevent scoring and wear upon initial start-up after overhaul.
This must-have kit does not only have hard-to-find metric sizing, but the o-rings are made out of nitrile which holds up better to heat and is more resistant to oil, grease, hydraulic fluid, silicone and even water.
Over the years I have used many different products to try to adhere chrome and trim pieces to body and interior panels. None has performed better for me than E6000. Silicone glue can't compete. When dry it holds like nothing else.
Some of those early fuel injections systems can be troublesome. If you don't understand the system or how it works you will never be able to troubleshoot it successfully. This manual explains the different comp0nents in the system, their purpose, and how they interact together.
Brand new Great locking gas cap with two new keys for these gas powered earlier models.
OEM style, made in Austria!
Some of the most common auto transmission leaks on the early automatics come from the banjo bolts that connect the filler tube to the bottom of the pan and the two transmission coolers lines to the lower front transmission housing.

Brand new rubber brake pedal pad. Fits many 1960s models. Make sure this will fit your car. This pedal measures at 2 3/4 height x 2 3/4 width at largest part.
New rubber stop for rear exhaust bracket. It plugs into the body right above the back of the rear muffler. Helps prevent rattle. Fits almost all models from late 1960s to mid 1990s. When you hear something clunking in the back when you go over a bump, this part is probably missing.

You asked for it so we made it happen. Many of you have been wanting to know what we use for high temp thread sealant (when we don't want to use the permanent epoxy). We don't like thread tape or anything with Teflon in it.
Fits 107 115 116 123 and 126 Chassis. This "must have" kit will help you replace the rubber flexible brake hoses on your older Mercedes from the late 60s up through the late 80s.
Brand new semi metallic aftermarket Front brake pad set. Both right and left SIDE. Low dust formula. You will love how these pads seat in and feel - and especially how they don't squeal.... These fit a large number of models including 230 200D 250SL, 280SL, 250S, 250SE, 280S, 280SE.

These same clips are used on almost all Mercedes Benz Models from the late 1960s up into the 1990s. If you have lost or damaged one of your clips here is a chance to get replacements. Maybe good idea to have spares on hand. Sold in set of 2.

If you plan to change coolant hoses this is a must-have labor-saving tool. This is one cleverly designed tool. I could not have done it better myself. I actually use to make a couple of different types before I found this one.
This removable threadlocker is probably the best that I have used. It has the best sealing cap and cures rapidly and reliably when confined between metal parts. Use it to lock threaded fasteners, nuts, bolts and screws from loosening. Extremely important in critical engine and suspension parts.
Almost all Mercedes gas and diesel engines from the late 50's up to the early '90s used pressed in steel pins to hold the timing chain guide rails in position (inside the engine block).
Long drive pin punches are very handy when working on your Benz. The smaller size in this set is particularly helpful when removing and replacing twin pin style brake pads. All steel. Made in India. Pin sizes: 1/8'', 3/16'', 1/4'', 5/16'' and 3/8''
This 5 piece set is made out of plastic so it will not mar or scratch paint, glass, chrome trim, etc.
Fits all models from the late 1960s up to the early 1990s that use a contact grounding spring inside the front hub bearing grease caps. Sold as a set of two (2). This important copper spring provides a clean contact to ground for the brake pad sensor wire.
