I like this - permanent - threadlocker because it is super strong but can still be removed with a heavy handed breaker bar. This is a very large bottle for the price and is a must have for Mercedes diesel owners. I use it anytime I am doing major repair work on an engine or transmission. Great for front crank bolt, cam bolt, torque converter bolts, injection pump mounting nuts, front engine accessories, brake caliper bolts, front suspension, etc. Anything that you can just not afford to come loose.
This removable thread locker is probably the best that I have used. It has the best sealing cap and cures rapidly and reliably when confined between metal parts. Use it to lock threaded fasteners, nuts, bolts and screws from loosening. Extremely important in critical engine and suspension parts. This is the removable type (meaning that it can be easily removed with hand tools). Comes in small .20 Fl oz. bottle great for most small jobs.
Excellent for all work around diesel engines to prevent vibration failure and breakdowns. If you need the red more permanent type CLICK HERE.
This permanent thread locker is probably the best that I have used. It has the best sealing cap and dries hard in 20 to 60 minutes. Use it to securely lock threaded fasteners, nuts, bolts and screws from loosening. Extremely important in critical engine and suspension parts. This is the permanent type (meaning that it is possible to remove only when applying heat to 450 degress F - with propane torch) or a very heavy breaker bar. I like to use this one on brake caliper bolts as it is such a critical bolt.
Excellent when retaining bearings and bearing races, freeze plugs, rocker arm and main bearing studs, etc. Can fill gaps up to .007 and assures positive controlled locking.
Here is an inexpensive set of cleaning brushes that really get down in the crevices. The plastic one is good for exterior cleaning around the window and body trim. The brass is good for cleaning engine parts you don't want to scratech. The steel one is excellent if you are doing some rust repair.
Due to Kent's heavy product development and writting schedule he will no longer have the time to answer all the questions that have been pouring into our forum. Our goal has always been to be a resource to Mercedes owners who need help fixing their own cars. There is just not enough time to help everyone. We want to continue to try to help our current customers, so we are offering personalized tech help with your order of $75.00 or more. Some restrictions apply:
If you are going to work on your diesel fuel injectors you are going to need a torque wrench. If you are going to tighten your alloy wheel lug bolts properly you should use a torque wrench. In fact if you do your own work you should have a 1/2 inch clicker torque wrench in your tool box. I know why you don't have one. They tend to be expensive for the limited amount you might use one. Well, now you can get a quality one for a very good price. This is a special offer and we only have a limited number in stock.
It comes with a nice moulded plastic case and instructions. This wrench is 18 inches long for good hand torque and it is made in Taiwan. Much better quality than those made in China.
This is my favorite set of tweezers for helping to hold small parts in place for assembly. The wide ones are particularly helpful when a second hand is needed to hold a small bolt or screw in place. Comes with seven different tweezers as shown. Good for car work. Not good for pulling hair!
If you plan to do much work on your Mercedes these metric wrenches and sockets are very desireable - if not a necessity. If you have wanted to add to your tool box but not spend a lot of money here is your chance. These are not Snap On quality wrenches but if you only work on cars ocassionally these are more than adequate to get the job done. Set includes metric crows feet, metric 3/8 inch drive hex (Allen) sockets, and metric 1/4 inch drive socket set 5 to 14 mm. These items are also available separately. To see a list of all our tools CLICK HERE.
Very handy set of three ratcheting offset box end wrenches. They can be set to ratchet either right or left. Sizes are 8, 10, 12, 13, 14 and 15 mm. All steel heads. Made in China.
Long drive pin punches are very handy when working on your Benz. The smaller size in this set is particularly helpful when removing and replacing twin pin style brake pads. All steel. Made in India.
Not only does this set include almost 100 pieces but it includes metric sized allen (hex) bits and even an attachment to remove a wing nut! How cool is that? Most kits don't contain metric sizes. There are probably enough screwdriver bits in this kit to last you for a very long. Comes in nice molded red case.
Great set of metric open end wrenches to get into those real tight places. Metric sizes from 10 to 19 mm. Made in India. They use the standard 3/8 inch drive extension as long as you need to work at right angles in restricted space. Only 10 sets available at this price!
Here is a great set of metric wrenches at a fantastic price that you can afford to cut, grind, heat and bend for all those instances where you need a specical wrench to get into a tight place. These are a black oxide finish so you won't have a problem with the chrome chipping or peeling off after modification. They are made in India and I have found they are a little tougher than the cheap sets coming out of China. Sizes range from 6 mm to 24 mm. The other nice thing about these wrenches is the open end heads are thinner than most other wrenches and will allow you to get onto narrower nuts. And if they are still too thick you can grind them thinner!!
Every tool box should have this set!
If you are into "shabby chic" then you'll love this hub cap! It's pretty shabby, with lots of curb scraping and dings. It will need some new paint as well. Did I mention all the clips are missing? Poor little hub cap! Something is better than nothing though, so if yours ran away, then you could replace it with this one for a great low price. Fits 1968 to 1985 108, 109, 107, 114, 115, 116, and 123 chassis all models.
This lovely cap needs a new home and a bit of love. It has some minor dings and scraping along its outer edge. The shine has come off of the paint in just a few places in the center near the Benz star and there are a few small rust spots to note as well. Not too bad though! 4 clips are included as well, just for you! Fits 1968 to 1985 108, 109, 107, 114, 115, 116, and 123 chassis all models.
As is typical with a used hubcap, there is some curb scraping. But the rest of it looks pretty good! You will probably want to repaint it because the red is flecked and looking a bit dull. Sorry, no clips included. Fits 1968 to 1985 108, 109, 107, 114, 115, 116, and 123 chassis all models.
A few minor dings and curb scraping on this great cap. Repaint it and polish it and you are good to go! And because you are you, and you are wonderful, we include 4 clips for easy assembly. Aren't we sweet? Fits 1968 to 1985 108, 109, 107, 114, 115, 116, and 123 chassis all models.
I'm not sure what the official name would be for the color of this hub cap. But it looks as if you ordered a coffee and put a lot of cream in it, then top it off with just a hint of sparkling sheen. This cap is really pretty, but has two unfortunate dents in it and some curb scraping. So we offer you a fabulous deal at just $20.00. Maybe if you drive fast enough, no one will notice the dents! They really are quite small. 3 clips included. Fits 1968 to 1985 108, 109, 107, 114, 115, 116, and 123 chassis all models.
What to say about hub cap #51? For starters, the color listed in the title is really irrelevant because you will need to repaint the badly chipped paint. The edges aren't too bad, with minor scraping and some dings. No clip included. Fits 1968 to 1985 108, 109, 107, 114, 115, 116, and 123 chassis all models.
If you are looking for a cheap replacement hub cap then this could be for you. The middle has quite a few small warps in in, but it shouldn't affect its performance or fit on your car. The edge has some scrapes and dings as well. It's not a horrible hub cap, but it's not one of our better caps either. No clips included. Fits 1968 to 1985 108, 109, 107, 114, 115, 116, and 123 chassis all models.
