When replacing the front struts ( shock absorbers ) on a W201 W124 or some W129 chassis it is frustrating and time-consuming trying to remove and replace the big 22 mm top nut on the front struts ( shocks ).
Are you tired of windshield washers sprayers that done spray straight or don't spray at all. If you can hear the pump running but no fluid is coming out the nozzles it could be the nozzle holes are plugged with dirt.
An annoying problem on many older Mercedes up to 1980 that have an aluminum housing surrounding the turn signal arm latching assembly. When these wear out the lever will not hold position when you push it up or down.

The front and rear seals are the same, but the procedure to remove and replace the sunroof panel differs from the power sunroofs. So, in this kit, we have included Kent's instructions specifically for the manual sunroof and have added a couple of other videos that you will find helpful.
If you round out a head on a W123, W126, or 560SL door striker bolt, you don't have to panic. This video will show you two ways to remove the damaged bolt using Kent's emergency removal tool set.
In this short video, Kent will demonstrate how to prep the sunroof if there is rust in the seal area and how to install a new rear seal using the tool, lubricant, and glue provided in his kit. PLEASE NOTE: The sunroof panel has to be removed from the car.
It seems like you never needed a 16mm or 18mm wrench or socket until 1996. After the intro of the W210 things changed. This set of 3 quality U.S. made tools consists of an 18mm stubby combo, an 18mm deep 3/8 drive socket, and a 16mm short 3/8 drive socket.
GEAR WRENCH BRAND!
You will not believe the difference a new cap can make in terms of ease of removal. It wont last forever due to age and heat. So when it starts getting hard to remove you can just replace the seal and put a little oil on it! What a great kit!!!
Kent finally got so frustrated trying to get these oil caps off that he came up with this new tool he chose to call the wrist saver. Watch the video to see this unique tool in action.
In this 14 minute instructional video, Kent will show you how to safely remove the side window lower trim without damaging the car's paint or the soft aluminum trim. He will do this using his special tool to do this job. He will also show you how to install the trim back on without bending it.
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 fast-action power tool. The idea for this kit and the included tool came from developing and using his aluminum trim polish kit.
Many uses for this quality hard steel tool including removing W123 and early W126 motor mount bolts.

Are you mysteriously losing coolant? Having heater problems? Does your heater have a mind of its own. Then your 201 chassis vacuum controlled heater valve may be bad.
On older Mercedes spot rust can be a hidden problem under side moulding trim, under fenders and rocker panels and inside the bottom edges of doors.
Valve adjustment is often neglected on many of the mid 1950's to early 1970's 6 cylinder single overhead camshaft gas engines. If it has been years since any adjustment was made, there will be problems - Kent can guarantee it!!!
It is hard to find the right motor mount bolts for the 116 diesels. They have to be good hard steel and just the right length. We have provided locking washers to install with the bolts so they will not loosen up.
When working on automotive engines a long heavy machinist straight edge is a must. This is the best way to tell if the mating surfaces are flat and true. That includes cylinder heads, engine blocks, intake and exhaust manifolds as well as critical sealing metal to metal covers and housings.
Fits 115 and 123 Chassis 220D 240D from 1968 to 1983. If your 4 cylinder diesel has more than 200,000 miles on it without any major work, it most likely needs new valve stem seals.
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.
Removing a Mercedes instrument cluster from any of the chassis listed is easy with these special "pull" tools. Many owners do not realize that the instrument cluster is just pushed into the dash panel and not held in with any bolts or screws.
Oil filter changes are important, but I believe on these high interval oil change schedules that changing the oil fitler can be just as important! Use the wrong filter and the engine can suffer serious damage.

These old power non-tilting sunroofs are now 45-plus years old. These are specifically the sunroofs that used the early-style rectangular sunroof motor and separate drive mechanism connected by a rubber drive bushing. They did not come with deflector air dams.

Kit contains right and left tie rod assemblies as shown. We have found if you discover one or more loose tie rod ball joints, it is always better to replace both rod assemblies at the same time. Entire assemblies are about the same price as two individual ball joints.
The email questions from owners trying to get their old fuel-injected 1970 to 1993 Mercedes running right drive him crazy. Most follow a pattern, and most will require a fuel injection system flow and pressure test to troubleshoot the problem.
These transmissions are now 40+ years old, and with age comes hardened o-rings and seals, leading to what I call "pesky" leaks. They are not bad enough to flow on the ground, but they do leave wetness around the transmission and drips on the garage floor.
Kent has tried a lot of different socket and extension combinations, but for him, this one works the best. You will have multiple options to work in tight places.

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.
PLEASE NOTE: Manual(s) are now available in PDF format and are available for viewing when you log into your account at Mercedessource. No printed manuals are shipped. If you own a Mercedes with the M117 V8 engine timing chain failure can really ruin your day!

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.
