This universal 13/16-inch spark plug socket comes with a 3-inch extension. On some V8s, you have very limited room to get to the rear sparkplugs. You can add another extension for open access to bring the ratchet wrench out in the open.
Maybe your non-turbo automatic shifts just a little too early or a little too late? Maybe your turbo diesel transmission jerks a little too much or flares during shifts?
This is an “introduction to service” manual that was supplied to dealer service departments to help familiarize them with the newly released W124 300E that was much anticipated.
This is an “introduction to service” manual that was supplied to dealer service departments to help familiarize them with 1988 models or changes to existing models. There is a ton of good information in this manual that you will not find anywhere else (including wiring diagrams).
Since the original style Bosch electric water pumps are no longer available NEW. If you need a replacement pump, you have three options. 1. Buy a used pump. 2. Buy our newer pump conversion upgrade. 3. Take your inoperable pump out of the system.
This is probably the very best upgrade you can make for your automatic climate control. It will switch the hot to cold or cold to hot much faster and will hold a much steadier heat at high engine speeds.
Are you tired of your sluggish heater system? Does it take too long to change temperature. Does it get hot when you want it to get cold.
The parts in this little kit will do two things. 1. Protect your climate control push button panel. 2. The system will get more accurate readings from the climate control sensor on top of your dash.
For years I just used old shop rags to catch the drips - until I found this! What a great solution. Watch the video below for more details
This is one of the nicest I have seen both inside and out. Complete with the attachment through the rear glass hardware. Kent will also include at no extra charge his on-demand video on restoring one of these. This will show you how to remove and replace it in your wagon.
GREAT for glue on loose rubber, loose wood pieces, and even carpet. The best!
VERY high-quality socket as shown.
Tightens and Removes Collar Nuts on 220D 240D 300D 300CD 300TD 300SD 300SDL 190D 2.2 1969 to 1987. Works on most Mercedes diesel engines up through 1987 only.
Fits all models 1976 to 1985 with a wood shift cover. 240D 300D 300CD 300TD 230E 280E and 280TE. A very common issue that plagues almost all W123s. The factory pin in the back on the wood shift cover seems to always break off, leaving the wood piece loose in the center console.
Very good used 189 engine part for 1965 300SE coupe - condition as shown. To see other M189 parts just type "189 engine" in the search box.
Only one is available. Very good used condition. To see our other 189 engine parts just put "189 engine" in the search box.
Brand new - never been mounted. Comes with a new rubber seal for water pump housing. Good used housing from 300SE is also available. I have other 189 engine parts. Please email.
It has now become essential that you replace this filter screen on these old cars, especially if they have been using gasoline with ethanol in it and the car has sat or sits for long periods without running.
Why do you need to do this? Valve clearances are supposed to be adjusted on these early V8s every 10,000 miles. You can imagine why this does not get done! Add to the fact owners can not find the right information or tools and it makes neglect even worse Why not on later model years?
NEW reman as shown. You will need to use the front pulley and fan assembly off your current bad alternator..
See picture below to compare to original. We think this one works better due to the offset and the longer handle.
Good used working right side mirror and hardware as shown. It is not perfect so if you are looking for show quality then do not purchase. The rubber surround is very good, with no gouges or wear spots. The chome is good, but then is a very small indentation where my finger is pointing below.
This is our most complete FID kit yet. Kent wanted to make sure you would have all the parts you need including hardware.
Written in multiple languages including English. Images include reference numbers to easily find the factory part numbers listed. If you have one of these old Mercedes with a 189 engine this is a must-have reference manual.
This old rare manual is like new. Probably never been used. Just a library piece from an old collector. Spotless inside. This has a lot of good information not covered in the 190 Service Manual for the specific models listed in the title. Approximately one and one-quarter inch thick.
If your 560SL key starts to stick, is stuck, and won't turn, or you have lost your key this is your solution. In the first two situations, your lock is probably worn out, and trying to change out the tumbler will not solve the problem.
This can be one of the hardest trim pieces to remove if you don't want to damage the car's paint or the aluminum trim itself. When working on detailing his 300TD wagon, Kent finally decided it was time to make a special tool for this operation.
We starting using some of these to plug brake lines while changing out calipers. Then we started using them on fuel and oil hoses. Now we are using them all over the place and keep finding new uses for them on a monthly basis. These are a MUST HAVE! Watch the video below to become a believer!
On the average W116 300SD nine out of ten times we find these mounts rotten, soft, or collapsed. It is often just due to the age of the rubber. Have you noticed your engine is shaking more at idle? Maybe you are noticing new vibrations that were not there before.
After years of wearing out his shoulder and elbow joints trying to hand polish convertible top windows, Kent finally decided he had to use some type of fast action power tool. The idea for this kit and the included tool came from the development and use of his aluminum trim polish kit.
Kent modified this puller and developed a procedure to remove the front crank seal race so the job could be affordable from the DIY mechanic. This costs less than half the cost of the factory tool.
Valve clearance adjustment should be done every 10,000 to 12,000 miles. Recently emails started coming in - "we can not find any valve adjustment tools for our earlyV8 - help!" Most companies are currently noting the old factory-style tools are no longer being manufactured, so we went to work to
Original printing. These have been in storage for over 50 years. One super thick manual covers all 190 pontons including sedans. The supplement manual covers 190SL and mostly focuses on the carbs. The original owner wrote his name on inside top of the first page.
Factory owners manuals set as shown. 300SD handbook proper is in excellent condition. Others are average to above average.

This is the newest LED light bulb Kent has found and tested that you can install on the backside of your instrument cluster to increase your instrument lighting on your older Mercedes. These particular bulbs will be much brighter with a VERY RED cast light and they don't get hot!
Cad plating can be expensive but is great for show restorations. If you just want to make those parts on your old Benz look good then this is the closest paint Kent has found to looking like cadmium gold plating. Check out the pictures below of the fuel delivery brackets he did with this paint.
Did you hear these are not available? No part number anywhere? Well, as the source we went to work and made it happen. You can now purchase the correct copper sealing rings for your OM616 and OM617 injection pump delivery valves.
Here is my all-time favorite gasket maker and sealant. You may already know how I feel about RTV silicone products (I think they should be outlawed!). We have had a number of our customers ask us where to get this so we decided to offer it on our website.
This is a quality aftermarket part and an excellent alternative to a used one. New O.E. is no longer available.

These are the best wires you can get for your 1981 to 1985 380SL 380SLC 380SE 380SEL 380SEC and 500SEL. The coil wire is included. Consider replacing your cap, rotor, and CORRECT spark plugs at the same time. See related products below:
This kit was developed by Kent primarily to fix leaking chrome wheels. The free on-demand video that comes with this kit shows the detailed process of cleaning and filling the corroded areas along the edges of the inside of the wheel to seal them and stop annoying tire leaks.
Brand new high-quality aftermarket pump. This fits 1977 to 1991 U.S. chassis models 116, 107, 123, and 126 only with automatic climate control (push button panel.) You must test this pump by unplugging and applying 12-volt power.
Do not let anyone convince you to install some super platinum, iridium or kryptonite spark plug in your old Benz. They are just not capable of handling the richer fuel mixtures associated with these older engines.
