560SEL Euro Manual ?

I recently bought a 1986 560 SEL which has been imported into australia i know not from where, but most likley from japan. The trouble is it has no owners manual or workshop one. The aircon does not work nor the sunroof and the brakes work but the brake pedal bounces now and again when applied hard. the car stops ok but is a worry to me.the merc dealer here can only supply an owners manual for a 1988/89. Would this be suitable for my car?

head removal on 420 sel

I'm in the process of pulling the heads on my 420 sel, I have everything off and I'm trying to get the heads off the block. Any tricks to remove them. I have at least 2 bent valves from the timing chain rails breaking and the chain jumped 3 teeth on the left head and 5 on the right. Also I think I will pull the timing cover off to replace the chain because there are rail chunks down in the front, cover any good tips for that. thanks Lewis.

560 Engine in 420SEL?

Hey Kent, Are the 420 block and the 560 block about the same size? I found a valve cover thats off a 560 that will fit my 420. Are the block and heads the same, just the stroke is different.I am going to pick and pull tomorrow for the valve cover and safety belts. Should I just grab the engine and use some parts for my 420 or even put the 560 inplace of the 420?

differential removal

Kent, Can you give a short summation on how to remove the differential on my 82 sd? I recently purchased one that howls very loud, and the previous owner supplied one with the car. I do have a car lift, tranny jack, tall jack stands. Just looking at it, I would unbolt it from the body, lower it, drain out lube, take rear cover off, remove axle clips (Pin), remove rear wheels, loosen axle nuts on hub, and go from there. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Bill
