Brave, bold and fearless adventurer. I admire your work and the spirit. I would never have thought of doing all this. I love the meticulousness, and can't wait for you to get the car on the road. I saw a post with artery forceps, and I wondered if you are a surgeon or.....! 😀
I *think* this box might be ok - i noticed the play is only on turns and theres zero play around the centre area. I would have thought the middle is where the worn section would have been.
Isn't there a concern about the gears having worn down on the inside? I understand the box can leak, but there seems to be a reason why people buy rebuilt boxes. I just need some guidance...
Christopher Kreschollek correct. If the box is excessively sloppy it should be replaced. This one is borderline and at 300k km its kind of understandable. The rebuild instructions do outline how to adjust it and if it cant be made satisfactory it is basically best to just find another box
Hi MMWA -- I've been riveted by your 124 videos like I've never been before with RUclips videos. It is 100% possible to remove and re-seal the output shaft and related seals with the box still in the car. I did this exact job a few years ago on my 500E, which as you probably know is even tighter underneath and in the engine compartment than any four- or six-cylinder W124 model !!

Really like the meticulous way you doing it 👍
Very smart, well shot, good sound. Make me more confident to do it myself. Thanks!

İyi günler direksiyon boşluğunu almak için ayar vidasını gevşetmemizmi gerekiyor ben ayar vidasını sıkınca boşluk arttı gevşetince boşluk yok oldu 🤔
Thanks
So far so good, not as messy as I thought it would be. Look foward to part 2. 😁
👍👍👍👍

yes my 300,000km C107 has all the play in the middle. It's been re-sealed but because no hard parts were replaced it still has the play
Where you find service manual for w124? Great job
