We have replaced the compressor,dryer, and the fuses are ok. The Air Conditioner will not work. What should we check next? Someone suggested Climate Control. Where is it located?

617 Injector return line replacement
Greetings, all.
I've got all the parts I need to replace the fuel injector return lines on my 617 engine, but I'm not sure what tools I should have and what procedures I need to follow. Most that I've read says I only need a pair of needle nose pliers, but this seems too simple to me. Is it really just a matter of pulling the old guys out and pushing the new ones in?
Thanks!

1985 300TD - Fuel Boost Pump Problem?
A couple of years ago I installed the fuel boost pump sold on this site (DSE-COMAEBP) and the optional filter. Can failure of this pump result in fuel supply problems?
I ask because yesterday I developed the classic symptoms of a fuel supply problem: the car will start but runs rough and eventually stalls. I checked the boost pump filter, changed the main fuel filter and bled the air from the system, No change. I then ran diesel purge through the injectors and re-bled the air. No change.

1977 240d - Help interpreting chain stretch
I had my valve cover off this weekend to adjust the valves. I decided to check the 'chain stretch' but am unsure of whether the pointer showing 5deg or 2deg. Also, I am unsure of what to do next, does the chain need to replaced (car has around 150k on it) or is this tolerable?
Here is a pic of the indicator on Flickr: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4018/4702434216_986910dcca_b.jpg

200. (the next hashmark on the guage) or sligly above with in stop and go. and then drops to about about 185-190 at 60 mph. my usual cruising speed.
outside temps around 95 (though outside temp doesnt really have much of an effect...samre readings day or night)

300TD'83 : 617 Turbo Rack Damper
I have the new 617 Turbo Rack Damper and instructions, ready to replace the old one.
Before I start, it looks VERY tight in there!
Do I have to remove the oil filter housing to do this?
No mention of this in instructions, but I've read elsewhere that it is necessary. Thanks.
