I'm replacing the front rotors on my 1978 450SEL this coming weekend and after a quick glance at the front rotor it looks like you need to remove the entire hub on these to replace rotors. I looked for a tutorial covering this but could find one.
If this is the case do you have any gotchas I should be aware of?
Thanks!
Kent: Will a turbo rebuild kit be offered for the KKK turbo? If not, any advise on rebuilding this turbo?
After I got the heater blower fan to work (fuse)last night I found that the fog lights, turn signals and low beams not working this morning. Do these items have any thing in common? Parking, high beams, brake lights are OK.

1982 turbo diesel wagon. great runner. no mechanical or fuel issues. always ran about 180 or so degrees. just barely above the 175 f mark on the gauge.
recently...maybe over a month or two. it is rising to near
200. (the next hashmark on the guage) or sligly above with in stop and go. and then drops to about about 185-190 at 60 mph. my usual cruising speed.
outside temps around 95 (though outside temp doesnt really have much of an effect...samre readings day or night)
I have just acquired a 1978 450 SEL and based on the records the motor has about 35k miles on it since a complete rebuild. It starts up and runs fine (wants to die if you give it gas when cold) once warm. It drives great but the idle is high at about 2000 RPM cold and 1700-1800 warm. Not sure where to start.
Vacuum? Is there an idle control of some sort that could be bad?
I don't see an idle adjustment and don't know these gas engines so I'm lost.
Thanks for any help!

I have the new 617 Turbo Rack Damper and instructions, ready to replace the old one.
Before I start, it looks VERY tight in there!
Do I have to remove the oil filter housing to do this?
No mention of this in instructions, but I've read elsewhere that it is necessary. Thanks.
I am now the second owner of a beautifully maintained 1985 300SD. However, I would like to change out the 14" Bundt Alloys with a 15" Mercedes wheel. I prefer the 8 slot chrome wheels I see on 190s and w201s. The problem is this, I cannot find a straight answer on the Benz forums if there are any stock 15" Mercedes that will "bolt" on correctly in relation to offset size.
Any insight would be appreciated.
