Hi Bob,

I found the requested information in the german workshop manual in chapter 35-035.

The nut has item nbr. 97, see attached screensots. There seems to be a special procedere not just a torque value.

Hope this helps,
Ralf

Ralf,

thank you so much! I will share this with my MB enthusiast friends! What manual did you find this information in? Is there an American version? I purchased a two volume 107 MB chassis set and this information was not in it.  I would like to purchase a copy of that manual if I can find it. 
May I ask one more favor from you?  What are the torque specs for the CV axle bolts to differential side flanges.  I am getting different numbers.

Again, thank you!
Thanks!
Bob

Hi Bob,

The information is from the official workshop manual which was sold from Mercedes Benz until 2020.

AFAIK this manual was only available in german and copies can only found on ebay - but most brobably as illegal copies. The initial version was published as CD and has encrypted PDFs, the latest Version was published as DVD and has unencrypted PDFs.

The CD version unfortunately does not run easily on Win 10. - eBay

Regards,
Ralf

Hi Bob,

You may also use the version for model W126

Lot of components are identical or similar ike engine, rear axle etc. This version is still available as it seems to me:

www.originalanleitungen.de/mercedes-benz...en-fur-klassiker-dvd

Regards,
Ralf

P.S.: seems that W126 DVD is also unavailable

Ralf, Thank you for this background.  If the complete workshop procedures are only in German, I doubt I will find a copy on USA Ebay.  Do you know anywhere I can pick up a second hand dvd copy?  
Thanks!
Bob

Ralf, I need the install procedures for the rear shackles.  These are the rear shackles (item 20) that attach to trailing arm and caliper support.  The bushings are degraded.  This part is no longer available.  I have a company that is replacing the bushings with  Polyurethane bushings.  Pictures attached.  
Thanks!
Bob

Now about to begin on the transmission rebuild and replacement of leaking rear main seal.
Thanks!

Ich hatte den Eindruck, dass ich hier in den Staaten nur passiv-aggressive Reaktionen erleben würde. Ich sehe tatsächlich, dass es internationale Wurzeln hat …

Hi Bob,

I have scanned through this thread to understand your latest response.

To be honest I found you received excellent help. You were first reminded of our Netiquette in this forum which includes mentioning your firstname so that we can politely address each other. I did not see any other reply in my quick scan that could trigger your response.

Putting the boot in now after such a long discussion and having received so much help seems to me  like questionable manners.

Hi Bob,

I agree to Volker, you got a lot of help here that you also thanked for a few times.
There was one strange and not problem related reply that was adressed by an administrator immediately.
Therefor, your post, more than 1 month after your last one, is quite confusing and hard to understand. If not something was "lost in translation" .....

Cheers,
Lutz

I direct your attention to a response left by "beenie" a Herr Lehrer, gern, Herr Lehrer

I direct your attention to a response by "Ragetti", Bitte immer freundlich bleiben

You then state, I was notified of your policy of signing my messages. Since notification I have signed my messages automatically. I'm not sure why you mention this. In reviewing my threads, I just realized what "beenie" had actually stated that was quite rude. I have never previously had any interactions with him.

Such rudeness needs to be called out which is my prerogative.
Thanks!

You might have missed that Ragettis (admin) response was adressed to beenie!
As I said: "lost in translation" .....
I would consider beenies comment as superfluous but todays comment from you is hyperbolic.
His post is not worth discussing it and therefor this will be my last post on this topic!

Cheers,
Lutz

Hi Bob,

it makes no sense to issue such a rude general complaint 1 month later. I believe u even misunderstood beenie. He did not reply to you but to Christian who reminded you to sign with firstname. And Rolf has reminded to stay polite. Nothing bad or outrageous until you suddenly made your statement now after 1 month.

But let us close this now. Further discussion will only create bad feelings for nothing.

Perhaps a misunderstanding. I will leave it at that.

Apparently, not in the States! Horrible documentation in States. Here is a small look at what MB provides for documentation here in the States. It is horrible.

Horrible site!
