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.
This is a must-have if you attempting a caliper rebuild on one with stuck pistons. If you own one of our injector pressure testers here is a great add-on that will allow you to use the tester to remove stuck pistons from old brake calipers.
One of the most often neglected maintenance items we see even when brake work has been done at a shop. These should just be replaced every 15 years for better performance and to reduce excessive brake pad and rotor wear.
While working on the fuel injectors of a 240D this week, Kent finally decided he had had enough. After 20 years of fighting those fuel injector return hoses he decided he just had to come up with a tool to make the job easier. 2 hours later the tool was designed and the prototype made.
Our flexible brake hose kit includes front brake hoses, rear brake hoses, 1-liter high-performance brake fluid, 9x11 mm Flare nut wrench, thread sealant and three pairs of nitrile gloves, and complete pictorial instructions.
Here is a brand new set of Front brake hoses that fit all 123 chassis from 1981-1985 and 126 chassis from 1981-1991, both gasoline and diesel models.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Here is a brand new set of Rear brake hoses for all 123 chassis 1977-1985 and 126 chassis 1981-1991, both gasoline and diesel models and 116 Chassis 300SD only, and 1973 to 1980 450SL. Also fits 380SL from 1981 to 1985 -- US MODELS ONLY
This is a high quality aftermarket part. Genuine are no longer available. The main line is the same for all U.S. turbo diesels 1981 to 1985. There may be some variation on the small vacuum rubber hose attach points. Here is the arrangement of the vacuum attach points.
Front flexible brake hose fits right or left side of most models from 1967 to 1985 including 250SE 280SE 300SEL 250 280 220D 240D 300D 450SE 300SD. Does NOT work on 123 chassis cars.
You can save a lot of money if you can rebuild your old brake calipers, especially on some older models. If you can just get the pistons out of the housings, most calipers are rebuildable, unless they have been subject to road salt or have sat exposed to the weather for years without use.
6 "German style" non-cutting hose clamps as shown. These are wider than most to better seal the hose to the fitting. See our other hose clamp assortments below.
Fits chassis models W114 W115 W116 R107(except 500SL and 560SL)W123 (do NOT FIT WAGONS) and W126 ( except 500 series 500SEL, 560SEL, 560SEC) from 1972 to 1991.
This manual is a complete guide for all brake component replacement for all 1965-1995 Mercedes Benz cars. It will help you identify common signs of trouble, inspecting brake components, and replacing major brake components - a necessity for any DIY brake job on your Mercedes Benz!
In this video manual Kent will walk you step-by-step through the process of properly putting the caliper back together again with the new seals and correct assembly paste.
Kent will walk you step-by-step through the process of cleaning and prepping the old caliper for the new seals. He will share his recommendations on painting as well as how to retard the rust inside the caliper housing.
Born out of frustration this twin chamber plastic bottle has solved two of Kent's biggest head aches when brake bleeding or flushing brake systems.
Fits all 380SL and 380SLC from 1981 to 1985. This flexible fuel hose connects the outlet of the fuel filter to the metal hard fuel line going from the rear of the 380SL to the engine compartment. This hose is hard to install and hard to inspect.
For use on most Mercedes from 1969 to 2006 (see exceptions below)- UPS Ground Shipping ONLY! Buy the complete kit and save $$. This is almost everything you need to do a fast, clean and efficient brake fluid flush on your older Mercedes Benz passenger car.
Remanufactured front Bendix caliper set with special anti-rust coating. Always replace as a set. Do not mix ATE with Bendix ( side-to-side). Fits all 123 chassis from 1977 to 1985. Please note these have been mounted on a car for a short time so you might see a few marks.
High quality fast break in pads with special coated anti-squeal pad bonded to the back side of the pad. We include 4 new sensor wires and a small ceramic brake pad grease to lube the pad edges and the pins. ( no need to lube the back side).
This procedure is a must do anytime you install a new master cylinder or allow fluid to completely leak out of your master cylinder.
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.
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?
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.
PLEASE LOOK AT YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE ORDERING to confirm the type of accumulator you have. ( Watch the last video below for examples )For systems with ONE HOLE ACCUMULATOR only. Some 450SL, 450SLC, 450SE, 450SEL with 4.5 and W116 280SE .
All 380SL, 380SE, and 380SEL owners take note. Even if you acquire a nice 380 like Kent's Cherry you are going to need some or all of these components ( unless of course it was recently done by a competent mechanic ).
Since new original style pumps are no longer made, this is the best way to finally fix your old fuel pump leaks and poor performance.
In this 30 minute-long video Kent will walk you through what he did for the rear suspension on his 1983 240D.
Why is this so important? It is primarily due to the age of these cars now and the fact that lurking problems can be hidden from visual inspection. There is not ONE diesel that Kent has looked at in the last five years that does not need this service! Even ones with under 150,000 original miles.
Works on the following: 6 cylinder gas MFI engines 1959 to 1972, 6.3 and diesel engines 200D 220D 240D 300D 300TD 300CD and 300SD through 1985.
Kent's procedure uses the factory recommended "drip tube method" but with a "twist." He has devised a way to get accurate and consistant IP timing results while trying to get the drip tube to drip at one drip per second exactly when it should!
FITS THE FOLLOWING: 115, 116, 123, and 126 chassis. Here is a diesel item I have put together that every Mercedes diesel owner should have.
This is our most complete FID kit yet. Kent wanted to make sure you would have all the parts you need including hardware.
If you have one of our pressure brake bleeders, you can easily attach this wand to the end of the hose by removing the brake master cylinder reservoir cap. You can place the exact amount of fluid in the tank, hang the wand in the fill hole, lock the valve open, and walk away.
DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY METAL FACTORY HARD LINES!!! What you SEE in the picture is exactly what you will receive. Many of these particular big V8 models are now becoming true collector cars and going up in value at a steady rate.
This will give you everything you will need ( except 12-volt power and cleaning fluid ) to bench clean and test your D-jetronic fuel injectors in your own garage or workshop once they are removed from the engine.
Most 1988 to 1993 6 cylinder CIS fuel injection delivery (FID) systems are old and tired and have not been properly maintained. These include the W201 190E 2.6, the W124 260E 300E, 300CE, 300TE, the W126 300SE, and 300SEL, and the R129 300SL.
Applies to 240D 300D 300CD 300TD 300SD Diesel This guide is written specifically for owners of 123 and 126 diesels from 1977 up to 1984. There are some sections that apply to the 115 and 116 chassis but it is not specific to those models.
Is your diesel suffering from hard brakes, poor or no engine shut off, climate control problems, or even funky transmission shifting??
This becomes something you should inspect on cars with over 80,000 if they have been driven on rough roads, and over 100,000 on airmatic cars that have mostly freeway mileage.
Here is an easy DIY tip to repair a broken vacuum hose nipple on your main vacuum line running from the vacuum pump to the brake booster on the older diesel engines. $2TIP
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!
