I’ve worked on heavy equipment and doing one of these was a breeze for dads 380sl. The walking away is best advise he gave on working on any gearbox haha
The tech talk I have been waiting for! Thanks Pierre.
Duude, so precious information. 😮 Thank you for making such amazing content! ❤
With all the wrapping and low lighting , makes it difficult to follow. Best if the box was on a table without all the wrappings with box fully visible would have helped me to follow. Otherwise it was just the info I need and still need. You are a great mechanic. I have enjoyed and benefited from your instructions. But have difficulty to follow this one. Regards Jack.
The Pittman adjustment screw on top of box fixes the play in steering wheel almost always . On easy access screw , that was fix during an oil change . People always appreciated that .
if only it was so accessible on my 560sl! lol
Would love to see more repair videos. Specially, on the W123 we have an 85, 300 D was bought new by my father and we own it.
Great info! I was about to replace my steering dampener next week, think ill pull the box at the same time and attempt some adjustments to take out the extra travel. Was thinking id have to rebuild tbe box to take out the slack!
Must be my steering box.
Well done!
I know mine is loose and that both shafts needed to be adjusted.
Look at this Ofe
Nice information.
My car is an Aus model and the nut is 65mm across
Great info...hiding with the bubble wrap and yellow rag...should visit Pierre to make my steering right 😅
We should buy Pierre a workbench to place the unit on; easier than hoisting it to eye level and within the camera frame.
What models or time frame does this appy to?
Hi from India.
Should a 1968 W115 220 Petrol have a Bakelite steering wheel or something similar to the plastic units used in later W123s?
Another great video Pierre! I have a question about the "centering pin" you mentioned. I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to find more information about this tool, and hopefully get a part number to order one, but i can't seem to find it! I've been looking for over a year at this point. Any ideas?? Thank you!
Greetings watersists, the part number is 116589062100 costs between $40-50. However, all you need to do is buy a M8 x 1mm pitch brake bleeder screw - AutoZone or Napa has them for $2 and screw it in and it will do the same as the $40-50 tool. In fact and M8x1mm screw which you’ve filed into a conical shape will work just as well. Best of luck.
@@MJR67 Wow! Thank you sir, very kindly indeed. Looks like the 116 part number was throwing me off. I was expecting it to be a 123 part #.
I should probably know this but, where is your shop!? It’s, and state.!
No manual steering in USA?
Don't think so, no.
Power steering was standard on all US spec W123’s. Power steering was optional on Euro 4 cylinder models until 9/82 when it was made standard on all W123. It remained an option on the base 2.0 and 1.8 liter W201 models till the end of production.
I hope someone would take on the task to make new ballshaft and working pistons/crosshafts. Should be possible to find a Chinese company that can make a couple of hundreds…
