82 300TD brake calipers wont collapse
I was trying to do the simple task of replacing the front brake pads on my '82 300 TD wagon. I was able easily able to get one of the pads out, but the other one, the one closest to the car, I was unable to get out. When I would try to push the current brake pad back into the caliper to make room for the new thicker pad, it seemed like the pad was frozen in place. It would not budge. I tried tapping on it with a hammer, blasting it with dynamite and it would not move. Is there something that I am missing, or does this mean I probably need to get a new set of front calipers?

1980's 123 series Clear Coat problems
Short of a re-paint, is there anything that can be done about peeling clear coat? I understand that older 123's had clear coat applied over the paint at the factory. I understand that current paint practice is to mix clear coat with the paint color which supposedly eliminates the peeling problem.
It would be nice if a ....rattle can...solution of clear coat could be applied. Does anyone have experience with this? Any other ideas as to how to fix this problem?

560sel ignition coil
Have a 1990 560sel with 127k miles. Want to start changing the oil myself via the dipstick. Other sites say that it's best to disconnect the ignition coil before cranking the engine over after the change. This prevents too much strain on the timing chain. Have a repair CD but the coil is not behind the EZL as shown on the diagram. Looking for the location of the coil. Thanks.

87 300D Cruise Control
My 87 300D has a cruise control with a mind of it's own. Sometimes it works, most of the time just intermittently. I am wondering if anyone knows of a kit to fix, and including instructions for swapping out?
Thanks so much,

Air Dam removal
I have a 79' 240D and have been doing the maintenance on the sun roof as per the Mercedessource kit. I have found that the air dam has a bit of rust on it and I wanted to remove it and clean/treat it with the anti-rust paint but I am unsure as to the best way to remove this. I am afraid of breaking it if I force it. Does anyone have any sequence of steps used to properly remove the air dam??? Thanks.

1984 300TD Fuel Guage Not Working
I just bought an 84 300TD (Yes, the wagon) and I really like it. One thing that I don't like is that the fuel guage is not working. It jumps all over at times, and at other times it will stay all the way empty (after I just filled it up) or all of the way full. Not sure if this is related, but when I fill it up, I have to put fuel in very very slowly (~.5 gal per minute) otherwise the filler fills with foam and shuts the station pump off.

1980 300SD tranny in a 84 300TD wagon?
Is it possible for an 84 300TD wagon to run on the transmission from a 1980 300SD? If only some of the parts (within the tranny) are interchangeable, which ones?
