 One of the hardest parts of replacing a flexible brake hose is loosening up the hard metal line without rounding off the nut. These are on hard and over time the top fitting can take some real force to loosen. You will need a flare nut head wrench to loosen the nut without damage. We have one that even has a flex head to allow better access to the nut - which is sometimes not very easy to get at. Kent's favorite brake hose wrench!

New Axle seals to seal rear differential housing to rear axles. Please note that these only fit certain models and some are subject to a vin number split. If in doubt look at your current seals and measure the diameter.

Kent started wearing protective hand gloves back in the day when only latex was readily available. When nitrile came along he was elated and has closely followed improvements in these gloves over the years. Recently he discovered what he believes is the ultimate glove when working on cars - especially old diesels! If you have watched any of his recent videos you will recognize them by the dark green color.

The advantages of these over other nitrile gloves are numerous:

One of Kent's top pet peeves is poor performing tape. All the promises of duct tape, gorilla tape, electrical tape just don't cut the mustard - especially when subjected to hard conditions of temperature, sun and moisture over time. This tape was designed for the home construction industry to seal out moisture and air in the underlayment system when framing a home. You can not believe how this stuff sticks. It does not tear. It stretches and forms around slight compound surfaces.

This tool will pay for itself the first time you use it - IF you consider your time worth something. :-). The plastic shift linkage bushing is a very common part that needs to be replaced on older Mercedes. Can you believe it is the exact same part that was used on all models for over 25 years! It is an inexpensive part that can cause big problems if it breaks out. It looks easy enough to install but it is not!!! Trying to install this oversized bushing in a lever hole up along side the transmission can be a REAL test of your patience. Even getting the old bushings out can drive you crazy... This is a must have tool for any Mercedes owner / enthusiast.  

If you have ever tried to remove and reinstall a shift rod attachment clip under your Benz you know how frustrating it can be. On some chassis like the 201 models it is almost impossible to even get to the clip let alone remove it with standard hand tools!

Kent designed this tool after spending years fighting these little clips. You will be amazed at just how easy it is to remove and install the clips with this little tool. PLEASE NOTE: The tool comes with instructions for use and for possible modification.  Keep in mind that all clips are not exactly the same, so the end of the tool may need some "minor tweaking" to get it to work perfectly on your clips.

When Kent developed this special polish compound to restore the anodized trim around the windows on older Mercedes Benz he discovered it also produced amazing results when used on other surfaces. It can polish small scratches out of the paint on the body of your car, and has proven to work wonders on the plastic parts of your car. Be sure to check out Kent's video on how it can be used to polish the plastic headlight lens covers on most of the newer cars on the road.

Our pressure bleeder is modified and put together here in our shop. We take a specialized garden sprayer and add a reliable pressure gauge and a modified cap that will screw on the top of your master cylinder reservoir.

Pressurized system flushing or air bleeder is the preferred method, particularly on older cars where you would want to avoid damaging the seals in an old master cylinder or on newer ABS equipped cars where pressure bleeding is the only reliable way to make certain you get all the air out of your ABS controller and brake lines.
