560SL Rear End Rebuild

I am almost finished with rebuilding the rear end on my 1987 560SL.  Some aspects of this rebuild have been most difficult to get repair procedures.  I purchased the factory 2 volume chassis workshop procedures and this manual entirely skips discussing the rear trailing arms removal and rebuild.  I tried subscribing to startek but they removed me when they determined I was not a repair shop.  For instance in the following diagram:

What is the torque for item 41 which is the nut?  I need specific torque specs for rear differential, rear sway bar, etc.  Rebuild included removing pinion shaft to replace seal and properly pre tensioning reinstall.  As I mentioned I am almost finished...  Also, if you can point me to where I can purchase complete workshop information, I would be eternally grateful.

…and whats your name ?!?

It woud be very nice if you could introduce you a Little bit at first!
 

Sure! My name is Bob Trautman from Texas. Purchased my 560sl approximately 7 years ago. Have been making steady repairs over the years. First major repair was when I changed my oil and I found this strange wire ground to the chassis. After reviewing electrical diagrams, I identified it as the oil level sensor connector. Now why in the world would someone ground this connector? I corrected the situation and plugged the oil level sensor back into the connector. 1 minute later I had a check engine light on. Eventually figured out the oil level sensor was defective. No problem, I will just replace it! I then learned I had to drop the oil pan....which required dropping the front subframe........Thus began my forray into the R107...... My biggest frustration with this car is german documentation regarding workshop repair procedures.........

For instance I own the two volume set of R107 chassis repair procedures. Nowhere in this 2 volume set does it address rear-end components such as R&R hub, trailing arm R&R, etc.......

SLSHOP has been most helpful in being able to source parts that are not available in the US.

Stefan, Thank you for this link. I see that this user interface was developed for the star link site for public. I have used the raw interface at star link and always was perplexed why there interface was so disjointed... This interface is SO much more useful to use!

I still did not find any information on what the torque spec and/or workshop procedure regarding the "WHEEL BEARING TO COUPLED TRANSVERSE CONTROL ARM NUT"

I may go begging to my local MB dealer and see if they will give me the information. The parts Department knows me very well..................................

Again, thank you for this interface. I will certainly use it in the future.
