Just a note for all - even if the system isnt brakes, if it uses brake fluid it should be replaced periodically as it attracts moisture and will corrode parts of the system at the lowest point. That fluid looks very very old.
By the way…this has to be the Coolest Father and Son mechanic video I’ve seen yet!!! 😎 Good job Dad👍🏼 ¡Great job Jr. You’re a good assistant and an excellent 🎥cinematographer!!! You bring more clarity to your dad’s already good explanations! 🎬…Cut 😂!!!
@@dingalingalong cheers Ding, I thought my G was filthy!. it will be cleaner now I have a hoist and tidy up below. in australia, we dont have snow. most off road I do has been mud, and sand. admittedly, I haven't done much in the last 5 years of ownership and dont drive it too much!
@@dingalingalong I fit those wings a few years ago when I put the m117 5 L in it. all 463 parts with original 460 wings cut to fit the bits. I should've made a video on it too!
Good tutorial with lots of lessons learned along the way. Thanks for taking the time and please consider providing the G world with more vids. Good job Dad and I believe I see a burgeoning career in film for your young son!
Hello, yo tengo el problema en el mismo cilindro de bloqueo, donde se puede comprar Gwagen 300 GD 6 cilindros. Espero contestación. Bilbao. Spain. Gracias.
Thanks Much!! great video. Unrelated Question... I can see your U joints for all shafts have locks on them. Thant means you have made some kind of adaptation on that matter. How did you do it? What did you do? Sorry if it too much to ask for an explanation. 👍🏻
thanks mate. im sorry im not knowledgable on the driveshafts yet. I did have the front one shortened when I put the m117 V8 and transmission in. the rear one has been 'balanced' a few years ago due to some driving 'wobble'. im not sure if they changed anything on them but your observations suggest so. sorry, im not very helpful on this one!
I bought mine through the MB classic centre. I have also bought parts of fourbyfourclub.com, a known Gwagen parts (new) seller. I dont think you can buy the rear master cylinder new anymore, but the repair kit is available and they were only about 100USD when I bought one I think (haven't fit it yet as mine was ok)
cheers Deebo. I really need to get under and give it a good clean! I just got the hoist, and the G has only just gone on it so ill clean it as I start replacing some long overdue bits !
Hi there, Seems your also from Australia. I v got some questions about the mercedes locking diff systems and you might be able to help. Can i get a contract for you. Thanks ben
Hi Daniel, I made this video quickly to show you what I use. I see a company called Jackaroo make them. I just bought them from the company I bought the hoist off th-cam.com/video/8Fehn1-Fxvw/w-d-xo.html
In the end it was the hose that although externally looked ok, must have deteriorated internally. it was blocking fluid passage! Changed the hose and after this, all good David.

Thanks Bernie. I think I had to bribe him with something that day!!
Good pace of video. I am always amazed how relatively clean other 460s are!
Just noticed you have 463 wings?

That's a stock u joint lock.
Hello please do you know where can I find new master cilinders and also the slaves? Thank you

Thanks for sharing. Did the W460 have a center diff lock ?
Not on the first generation 460s Emil. They are 2wd 4wd setup so when you put the transfer case into 4wd it's effectively locked.
Great info! Way cleaner than my G.. I’ll get there..
cheers Deebo. I really need to get under and give it a good clean! I just got the hoist, and the G has only just gone on it so ill clean it as I start replacing some long overdue bits !
Thanks that video was helpful

Thanks ben
Hi Ben, Im in WA. Im no mechanic but if I can help, happy to do so. Not sure if you can private message through TH-cam, I dont think you can!
Need to change boot on rear cilinder too..
I’ve got a similar hoist/lift. Looks like you made some special adapter to lift up your g. Was that custom or did you purchase a particular one?

@@w116036 awesome. This is so helpful! Love the g wagon related videos. Keep it up!
Thanks, I’ve just removed my slaves and masters and needing to go through the same steps. Great video.
Any update on the front slave bleeding process?
