126 Turbo Diesel Air Cleaner Bracket Replacement

Hey, just got the replacement bracket from you guys today. I am going to put it in but for the life of me cannot get anyting on that bottom 13mm bracket bolt below the exhaust manifold loose to remove the old one. Any trick you can advise me on? I have tried an extension, I also tried freeing up the clamp on the turbo and turning it down but just canot get the angle to get it lose. It grips sometiems but at an angle and barely and I do not want to strip it. A shorty is too short to reach it from along side the block and my long 13mm hits the turbo.

Much thanks

83 300D Windshield Washer Kit/Spray Pattern

I installed the Windshield Washer Squirter kit recently. The installation went well, once I figure out how to remove the old squirter nozzles. I now have the situation where the nozzles spray most of the washer fluid over the roof of the car. The driver's side nozzle, in particular, misses most of the left half of the windshield. Is there a way to adjust the spray pattern on these new nozzles?

1986 300sdl WVO Fuel Injector maintenance

I have a Mercedessource inspired 2 tank WVO conversion set up in my 1986 300SDL. I have put on 14,000 miles since the conversion about a year and a few months ago. Everything is running fine.

What is the sign that I will see when my Monarch injectors need to be replaced? They have been on for all 14,000 miles. I don't intend to pull them off for the "fun" of it, because quite frankly it is a pain on the 300sdl's (getting to number 3 and 4 requires removal of the intake manifold.) So I want to only do it if needed.

Thanks for you advice.

300te 1989

I just bought a 300te 1989 and love it. only problem i've had so far is check engine (changed the o2 sensor and hasn't come back on "fingers crossed" and transmission shifts a bit jerky. sometimes it smooth sometimes it a little harsher. when I'm at freeway speed and floor it and it drops down a gear I really get a good kick. also I've tried putting in neutral going around 50. when I put it back in drive I get a good bump. any ideas out there.
