Thank you for posting this video. Enough detail/information for me to tackle this job on a 2007 E320. I think the only difference is I'll have to remove the exhaust to move the driveshaft.
Many dont know this but you need to grease the threads on that three jaw puller. Look close, those are all metal filings flying off the threads on the puller shaft where it spins in its bolt. Plus takes away much more friction so impact doesnt have to work so hard. These tools get ruined fast when no one greases threads. Its a common thing. Many buy ball joint removal tools and threads they come dry out of the box. Buyers go at it and on first ball joint they do, threads get destroyed and then they complain and give a bad review of the tool. They just dont know. Just sayin! Great vid. Always well done. Thanx 👍👍
Hi Masood, appreciate the detailed video, I will follow your process for changing the seal on my r129 500, do you by any chance know the pinion nut min torque value and the breakaway torque values for it?
@@gezata That is a nice car. The Tightening torque is 180NM+. The plus part is based on what you measure it precisely beforehand. Follow my procedure and it should work the same way. The breakaway force is probably over 200NM.
Np. I meant Newton Meters. If I understand the question, you want to know the force it takes to turn loose the collar nut? You can use a breaker bar with tires on ground, or use a good impact gun. Works much better and faster....
Another great video! Would you mind to make a video review of the lift you have? You have a similar awesome video for the Milwaukee torque wrench that I bought right after you uploaded it, the same could happen to your lift too, seriously 😂

You're welcome.

Hi John, thanks. You are making a very important point. I failed to mention it in the video, I think.

Thank you. What year?
@masood-tv its a '97

Thanks, much appreciated! I assume you mean 200 n/cm as the breakaway force?

Am i imagining it or does your car also have flex discs where the axles bolt onto the differential? If so 🤔 hmmm! Interesting!
No, you are not.

Thanks, Igor. I will keep that in mind. Some others have asked for a review of the lift also.
