This is the absolute best way to bleed the brakes or flush your brake fluid on your older ML. Comes wth you pressure brake bleeder, correct cap for the fluid reservoir, fluid capture bottle, and Kent's video instructions. Bonus: 3 pairs of nitrile gloves included.
Kent will show you how he does a pressure brake bleed on an ML320 after a full system brake replacement. This step-by-step instructional video is xxx-minutes in length.
Yes, that is correct, these are OEM parts - not cheap aftermarket. These are the same parts on all 272 V6 and 273 V8 from 2006 to 2013. That is a few million cars that are now all aging, and many have not had these parts replaced.
Here is a preventative maintenance issue that hardly ever gets mentioned. I think some people believe electronic fuel injectors will last forever. I took an ML320 with 250K and decided to replace the injectors.
You can not believe how much trouble a loose or missing shifter rod bushing can cause.
You attach these to your 300D, 300CD, 300TD, 5-cylinder engine and turn the engine over with the starter motor for cleaning and testing.
Quality aftermarket antenna mast as shown. Comes with instructions on the packaging.
These original masts are NLA, and this is from Kent's 20 year old stock and was only used a few months. No damage. super smooth operation and super straight. The TOOTHED tail was used on some antennas from 1983-84 up until the early to mid 1990s.
These original masts are NLA and this is from old stock Kent has had in storage for 25 years.. The smooth tail was used on antennas from the mid 1970's up until around 1983-1985.
Watch the YouTube video below where Kent installs this kit on a GL450. Kent will tell you everything about this kit and why you should do this joy yourself around 100,000 miles. All the procedures are the same for the W221 (non-ABC) and W211 with the V8 engines.
This is a must-do anytime you have the transmission out of one of these cars, and you know it has not been done in the past 10 years. Of course, if you are leaking engine oil out of the bellhousing after a long drive, then you should also replace it.
The kit contains the following"
We know someone out there is going to want these. Priced cheap as they will need to be picked up. Too expensive to ship. Please do not try to check out. Email us if interested.
If the front carpets on your 1998 to 2006 W163 ML320 ML430 ML500 ML55 are always wet the problem may never go aw
PLEASE NOTE: This is a custom assembled kit. Please allow 4 to 5 business days before it will shlip. The kit will include two long pieces of specai silicone hose, couplings, marine sealant, special tape, applicators and custom made delectors.
This is a short 5-minute video instruction where Kent demonstrates how to precisely install a hood star wreath from the kit we offer. Note: Multiple colors are now offered for you to customize your own Benz.
We give you options. Look at the images below and you can decide what color you like best to put on your hood star. You can choose, red, gold, silver or a combination of the two. Please watch the video instructions BEFORE installing.
These are getting harder to find in good used condition. Replacing a valve body with a known good one is often an easy way to troubleshoot a problematic transmission. Fluid inside is clean and has been stored in a sealed bag since removal.
This is the exact part you will receive. All hoses are still soft and usable.
This fits all 201 chassis 190E and 190D from 1984 to 1993 and all 124 chassis sedans, coupes and wagons from 1986 to 1995 both gas and diesel. Visually check the condition of the seal on the underside of the cap.
In this 9-minute instructional video, Kent will give you an overview of what is required to change the plugs in your ML320 and share some tips to help you avoid frustration and potential mistakes.
This is a SINGLE replacement bulb if one of your Hella headlights has suffered damage. It wil come with a new H4 bulb. We realize you may not need the bulb, but this is the only way we can sell it.
Plugs are one of the most neglected things we see on these old ML320s. Probably because the engine seems to run so well even when they are badly worn like you will see here. This kit is designed for the DIY mechanic. Yes you can do it yourself and save big $$$.
Kent's highly detailed xx-minute video on how to remove the K3 and pump assembly from the front of a 722.3, take it all apart to gain access to the big pump O-ring, replace it and the torque converter seal, and put it all back together again.
Kent will share his knowledge from years of doing pressure tests on these old transmissions. Don't be afraid to do this. It is definitely a entry level DIY procedure.
Too much pressure and you will blow the seals. Too little pressure and you will wear out the clutch packs. When installing a new vacuum modulator on your transmission, you most likely will need to adjust it. There are two ways to do this.
More often than not you will find these cracked and broken.
these are almost gone and word has it they may no longer be made. ONE PER CUSTOMER ONLY!
This is unique to most 1985 OM617 CA models with TRAP OXIDIXER. Only fits models with the air filter mounted OFF the engine, behind the passenger side headlight assembly.
In this short video Kent will explain how to use his stud repair kit (see relaed below) to fix damaged oil filter threads in the top studs that hold the cap on.
If you discover a stud loose when doing an oil change on your 1977 240D 300D 300TD 300SD here is the kit you will need to fix it properly. Even comes with new semi-locking cap nuts. Watch Kent's YouTube video below to learn more.
The kit comes with the following:
This is one of the most common leaks we have seen on these transmissions over the past 25 years. If you are discovering big puddels of red transmission fluid on the ground at the front of the transmission I can almost guarantee it is the front pump leaking.
Much wll apply to the 2000 to 2002 models as well.
This is Kent's master kit for solving a number of transmission-related shifting problems. Please note it will not solve them all, particularly if your transmission is worn out.
You should change this crush washer every time you change your engine oil. Good to have some spares on hand.
Removed from a very low mileage 116. Lenses are like new, seals are good, wiring is soft, no corrosion on the contacts and new bulbs installed.
Good condition as shown.
VERY CLEAN rust-free set of rear springs removed from 300TD wagon. The car was sitting at the correct ride height. These appear to have been replacements in the not-too-distant past.
When you are resealing or rebuilding, or even just working on the B1 piston, you need to check the release pressure. This is done by measuring the distance the piston has to travel before the brake band clamps onto the K2 drum. This should NOT be neglected.
NEW NOS Monark pump. Made in Germandy. Very high quality. Only two available.
This is Kent's full class on overhauling these old transmissions. They all need help now, not because they are mechanically worn out, but rather because all the old rubber lip seals and O-rings are hard and worn out. They all need resealing! Valve body overhaul is NOT covered in this series.
PLEASE NOTE: As stated earlier, Kent does not cover the overhaul of the valve body in this video series. That could be another long series all by itself. He will show you how to make the K1 accumulator upgrade.
In this detailed step-by-step 26-minute video instruction, Kent will show you how to correctly install the B1 and B2 piston assemblies, check them for proper operation, and measure the required "free-play." He will also cover other items you will need to install on
Now, for the part you have been waiting for —and perhaps the most critical. If you forget to install even a single small needle bearing or a couple of thin washers, you could encounter some serious problems.
There are several important seals and O-rings that need to be replaced before proceeding with reassembly. In this 26-minute video, Kent will go down both the right and left sides of the case and demonstrate each one. 72234CLASS
In this 19-minute session, Kent will remove a rear oil pump from an early 722.3, disassemble it, and demonstrate some of the challenges associated with resealing it. 72234CLASS
In part three of his 722.3 video class, Kent will give you his recommendations of some tools and supplies you may need when you go to tackle this job yourself. He will also give you recommendations on additional manuals you should download from the internet. The video is 21 minutes in length.
This is a comprehensive video (30 minutes long) that provides an in-depth explanation of testing and adjusting the modulation pressure in the 722.3 and 722.4 transmissions.
This item is non-returnable, so please only order if you can live with the differences in stitching and ribbing. Thus, it is priced accordingly. Best for someone who has such a bad palomino driver's seat that he will find this more than acceptable.
Since these engines run so well, some believe that the fuel injectors will last forever. If you have noticed your fuel economy is declining or your engine oil seems thin, then replace these injectors.
Since these engines run so well, some believe that the fuel injectors will last forever. If you have noticed your fuel economy is declining or your engine oil seems thin, then replace these injectors. Best to do it after 150K as a preventative measure to increase engine life.
