Great demo I have a Mercedes S550 2010 4 matic
This video is just what I needed. Thank you!
Hi, Thank you for your video, it caught my eye as have the same tool. The way you extended it saves me having to use a pole, which would move the holder away from the pulley slightly! I don't think the pins are long enough or tool needs milling as can see the locating body hitting the ribs. Further more, the socket I bought is 80mm long which isn't long enough, if I add a 50mm extension then I will have to remove the fan. Original pulley and new one are both genuine Mercedes parts. With that tool it looks like I need a 100mm socket (that I can't find anywhere) or a shallow socket with a 50mm extension which I'm reluctant to use
You're welcome and thanks for your comment that may help others. You may need to mill the edges of the tool to get it to sit deeper in the pulley. Yes, I understand the stubby extension may be a little sketchy. We used a deep impact socket 75mm long with a breaker bar. It could be we had just the right size. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
@@fatherandsonfixThanks again, took no time at all, just needed to remove the four torx screws on the back of the fan and remove it, to give a little more room as needed 100mm to clear the tool before attaching the breaker bar, I guess the tool and or engines vary. Mines a CL500 face-lift
havent even watched the videeo yet but like and sub because father son fix is just too wholesome a'name
thank you! we hope our channel inspires other fathers, sons, mothers and daughters to spend some quality time together fixing things :)
That's great! Just what I needed to see. Thanks
Great video and easy to do.
A lot of time the "dirt" on the lensif its an active printer is 95% just toner powder thats blown out or fall out onto the lens. Remove all 4 toners in my example a little love and easy does it with the air nozzle from the compressor and a few puffs of air on each of the 4 lenses, in my case that sit directly under each toner and good as new!
Good advice! Compressed air is a great way to start and can save from more disassembly. For heavily used printers or those with difficult to access mirrors, sometimes a little more love is needed :)
@@fatherandsonfix thanks btw, and sorry! geez I just read my text, you would probably be shocked to know English is my first language. Maybe it's time to turn back on autocorrect......lol
Oh my god, this is my exact couch haha-I only had mine for maybe a year before one of those springs came loose and poked through the bottom cover of the cushion.

Benim tamircim sarı yag koydu ve direksiyonum şimdi kamyon direksiyonu gibi dönmüyor
Is it possible to have the engine running smoothly despite a bad Crankshaft position sensor? On my CLK the engine is sweet and no ignition faults on diagnostics scanner BUT there's an intermittent problem with cutting out whilst idling and occasionally not engaging ignition when you turn the key. I just thought if the CPS was bad the engine might be misfiring ... any thoughts please?
The engine can run smoothly for the most part and still have a bad CPS. We had no indication from the engine in terms of rough idling when it happened to us recently. If you are troubleshooting rough idle and no start, the CPS replacement is a good first step even if it's not throwing a code. Your symptoms could also be due to an intermittent connection on the ignition circuit, bad coil, etc. We would replace the CPS first, then see if the problem continues and troubleshoot further. Of course we don't recommend throwing parts at issues, but there is correlation here and the part is relatively inexpensive.
@@fatherandsonfix Thanks. There's also the Cam Position Sensor to consider I suppose - or would that always make the car run "rough"?
@@fatherandsonfix Thankyou. Wold you also consider the Cam Position Sensor at the top of the engine? I expect that would be similar in the fact that it might not always cause the engine to misfire?
Im a princess. Ive never mopped a floor nor will I ever. This is what housekeepers are for. Im a 48 yr old woman by the way
I have a 2001 SLK 320 and, although not identical in layout, pretty similar. Less room for me for sure to do what I need to do yet, but your video is very helpful. I forgot about dielectric grease! And I have the right tool and socket. My deal is that I have to get the electrical connection to release and there is so so very little room to get my fingers on it the right way to release that I think. But I'll try again after my apt AC stops my sweating from today's very humid rainy hot northern Virginia July weather.
Yes, same engine, much tighter fit in the SLK chassis. For the electrical connector sometimes it helps to hold a flat head screw driver in your hand and use that to push down on the clip. It can get you an extra 1-2 inches in a tight spot. Of course, be careful because that plastic is brittle. It's cooking here too. We just did an oil change last week and started about two hours before sundown so it was a little cooler!
🏆Here I go on my CLK 320 2005 🏆 wish me luck🍀 thank you for the information 👀all the other videos sucked ✌️

Aren’t there staple removers?
Yes, another viewer suggested that. In practice, the diagonal cutters make the job easier, especially when the staples break.

1:50 I have a question. Don't sinuous springs stretch and restore their shape each time someone sits or leaves their seat? How is squeezing them going to help. From the video I can already see their shape and size remain the same afterwards.
I was wondering the same thing… thinking about researching the way mattresses are “hand-tied” & then try to mimic that on the couch springs using paracord…?
Over time the springs stretch out. We brought them back to the original shape. If you wanted to make them shorter, the change would be more perceptible. It may not be apparent on screen, but we can feel the difference.

Yes, that's why some people replace them.

Great video ! Makes me feel I can tackle my 2006 e350
Thank you a little bit of patience and a lot of rags will go a long way! You can do it!
You can! However if you haven't done it already, that clip which secures the res to the power steering pump on the M272 is a fair amount harder to access than on the M112. That clip is by far the hardest part of the entire job. Very straightforward besides that.
I have coil springs so I’m tryin to figure some crap out. I inserted a bunch of cut pool noodles into the springs and it might be working
Nice hack with the pool noodles and thanks for sharing!
My sl500 has crank no start but hasn’t throwing any codes
How did you fix it? A neighbor is selling an 06 E500 with low miles dirt cheap because it wont start, just wants it out of his driveway.. He suspects the crankshaft position sensor. Besides that, car is mint with no codes...

I have printer Hp Laser Jet MFP M183 FN, the mirror is broken, more scratch in the mirror, how to repair that?
You may need to replace the mirror assembly.
How you removed it ????
This couch top was removed with screws from the bottom. Some couches, you will need to turn over to access the staples.
Thanks... Liked, Subscribed. I'm hoping you may advise me on a problem... I am getting 2 vertical narrow, 75mm wide faint strips on my 11x17 color prints on my HP M750 laser printer. I've replaced the toners, inspected everything, done cleaning cycles, etc... and it persists. It seems as if it is the black that is the omitted color in the 2 strips of faintness. The strips of faintness edges are not abrupt. It seems to have started after the printer took 2 pieces of paper in a printing cycle and they were staggered, one a bit ahead of the other. The fuser was loosened and the pages pulled out. It printed perfectly prior to the incident... if I recall correctly. Any ideas for me?? Is the actual laser itself dirty? It is driving me crazy. Thanks again... Very appreciated...
You're welcome. Sounds like it may be an issue with the drum. If the drum unit is ok, and the mirrors are clean, it could be the LED or light that is damaged or dirty.
@@fatherandsonfix Thank you. Appreciated it. The printer is relatively low page count... Couldn't figure it being something so protected as the led or mirrors. The "windows" are covered by a scissor contracting cover which do not move for cleaning. I attempted to blow it out with a duster can and will run a test Monday. But, one thing I hadn't swapped out is the fuser unit, which is where I pulled a double page draw from when this problem started. I have a spare old fuser so I'll swap that in, then, too. Thanks again... Very appreciated!
We must have tempted fate with this one!! Last week we had the crankshaft position sensor error code P0335. This was our wagon and it was sitting in the sun, the first really warm day of the year. No issues starting when we got in. Then, when we got home and attempted to start again to leave, we got the no crank issue. Checked later and pulled this code. Bear in mind, we had already replaced the sensor in our S211 wagon about 50k miles ago with genuine Bosch. The video shows us replacing on our W211 sedan. Thankfully we kept the sensor we replaced in the video as a backup and put it in the wagon last week to keep it going for a few days until the new replacement arrived. Lesson learned, this should be part of preventative maintenance every 40k-50k!!
I got a 06 cls 500 and it won’t turn over it only cranks I can hear the fuel pump and start working and all electronics work , could it be this sensor that’s making it not start ?
Yes, especially if it is temperature related.
@@fatherandsonfixdo you know what size the bolt for the sensor would be on the 06 cls 500?

Thank you! I'm going to change me PS fluid soon and I'm gathering useful info here and there, and this video is great indeed!
You're welcome! Thanks for your comment! We like your approach to research *before* the repair 👍🏼
Why did you replace the resevoir and did it fix the issue
Preventive maintenance, there's a filter inside, only way to replace the filter is to replace the reservoir. Some people say it quiets the pump, we didn't notice any major difference.
Honestly, I was sceptical about all this, but I followed through. Luckily my printer is the hp cp1215 which is similar to that and what do you know, IT WORKED!! Thank you so much!!
Awesome!!! You're welcome! We totally thought ours was just leaky toner at first too, what a difference the lenses cleaning makes.
Can you deactivate for good? I prefer 100% user controlled braking
No, you must keep it on for safe braking. SBC actually does a lot of amazing things beyond ABS to keep you safe such as dry-brake and preloading when you lift off the accelerator. There are at least two deer and many squirrels that are still around thanks to the SBC on our wagon! :)
@@fatherandsonfixWhat if somebody doesnt want sbc for drift setup? I dont suppose you would know how to permanent disable?
@@thepio14343SWEG For these models that shipped with an SBC unit, you should not permanently disable. That would only leave the backup front brake system which has less capacity and couldn't modulate as easy. You would need a custom brake controller or pump, but there are so many systems tied into the SBC, it may shut down the party before it starts. There would be a lot of coding involved, plus 211s have an issue with the power steering pump at full tilt and high revs. Not the greatest platform for drifting, but we would love to see it!
