1984 300D 123 Rear Axle Flange Removal How?

I have a 1984 300D 123 chas that I was replacing the rear Axles on. I ran into a problem. I did a rush job while trying to take the right rear axle out. I took the tire off, then removed the 13mm long screw from the center of the hub, then I messed up when I tried knocking the Axle Shaft out with a crow bar. The curved crow bar banged into the grooves of the Axle Shaft Flange. So when i try to put the new axle on it wont go, because I destroyed the grooves.

560 SEL Hydraulic Suspension Bleeding Process

I recently replaced the hydraulic suspension/leveling valve on my 1986 560 SEL. Other than opening the breeder on top of the valve, is there any other step necessary to finish the job and make the suspension operational i.e. loose the connection at the top of each strut to bleed the air between the valve and the strut??

300D frozen wont start,

Hi All, I have a 84 300D , it was out in the subzero for a week, it is in the garage now, unheated, Chicago area. I tried many times to jump it when it was out side, now it is in 40 degree's but still wont start. Could the fuel injection have sucked air in if the fuel was frozen? if so how do i go about bleeding this system thanks adam

1977 300D Loss of power while going uphill

I've heard that 77 300D is not a strong car to begin with, but mine actually slows down and barely makes it up the standard Washington state hills. At the bottom of a hill I could be going 40mph, and by the time I get to the top it slows down to as slow as 25mph!! So far I replaced both fuel filters, air filter, checked compression, compression is right about 330 PSI in all 5 cylinders, which as I understand is pretty good for this engine (or is it?). What else should I check or do to fix this? Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Roman
