1984 300D Stalling

I have replaced all filters, including the one in the tank and all looked clean. I am still experiencing loss of power and then stalling as if a filter is clogged. When pumping the manual pump attached to the injection pump, it does not have pressure. It's like there is an airlock, but engine will start. I also checked the tank and it is vented. Any ideas? Thanks.

1984 3ooTD Tailgate will not unlatch

Help! The tailgate on my 1984 300 TD will not unlatch. It won't open from the inside or the outside. Lock button pushes in... nothing. Lift the inside lever up... nothing. Unfortunately, I'm not sure it's actually "unlocked" as that whole emchanism feels wrong when trying to unlock with key. Is there a way to bypass everything and at least get it to open so it can be worked on?

Removing Crankshaft Vibration Damper 1980 300D

I need to replace the gasket behind the water-pump housing on my 1980 300D. According to the service manual I first need to

1) remove radiator and fan
2) remove all v-belts
3) remove pulley
4) remove vibration damper

It looks like the bolts holding the pulley on are all that is holding the vibration damper on. Is that correct?

perhaps I should go a little further and swap out the front seal while I'm in there?

thanks!!
