You need to Fluid Film the undercarriage for rust prevention and preservation. I use oil and fluid film on the lower portion of the trailing arms where the spring and shock attaches to. On all the cars I restore. Never ever had anything rust out
Hi Ralf, Nice to see you doing some healthy yoga exercises! 😊 You said fall in the beginning? It is almost spring now. Anyway, which spring compression tool do you use? I have to get one for my car as well and since you were able to post this video after removing the spring i figured I ask you. If you have a link on where to buy it, please post it! Btw. I did my boots already and was able to get both shafts out without removing the exhaust. For a complete rebuild I will take out the entire rear axle in one piece and put it on my welding table! Great video! With greetings from Kansas Peter 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi there. Yup, time goes by really quickly. Yoga? Can you tell that I don't like hauling my big bum under the car? I almost forgot that I had not posted this video yet. Got my spring compressor kit on Amazon. The one in the video appears to be no longer available, but here is another one that will work. tinyurl.com/3f4b3mb4 Removing the exhaust to get the half shaft out is nicer, but not absolutely necessary. Doing the A arm replacement without revmoving the muffler is very difficult to say the least.
Hey Ralf. Glad to see you making vids again. Subscribed to you since 2020 when I got my first 126. My 560SEL’s drivers side rear wheel and passenger front wheel are stuck to the hubs (due to the old lug bolts) do you think I can knock the wheels lose or do I actually have to replace both hub assembly’s for drivers rear and passengers front? Thanks.
Yup, that is what nightmares are made of. I would try whatever it takes to drill out the bolts. You can also try hitting the broken part of the bolt with a sturdy piece of metal and a good size hammer to loosen the lug bolt. Good luck.
@@straybenzes yep I watched this video right after yours th-cam.com/video/YHlHCiJlkVQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QePrPAr-IHK_iNom You further confirmed what I have to do. Thanks again.
That depends on your definition of easy. After removing the wiper arms you need to remove the large cover held in place by clips and the rubber/metal "gasket" attached to the bottom of the windshield. Three screws hold the motor in place. Unplugging the motor may be the only difficult thing. Should take about 45 minutes,
Between 650-750 rpm. Assuming that there are no major air leaks and the idle mix screw is set to max RPM and further assuming the OVP is in working order than you can adjust the idle control valve. There is an upcoming video that I am working on now. Stay tuned.

Glad to see you back making videos
Yeah, it was way overdue. Thanks!
Thank you so much. Glad you like it.

This one is a key example of why one should not let it sit outside in the grass under trees.
Thanks for the great work.. Once thing I wish I have is a lift... makes things much easier....
...or a pit would also help. I have never liked working under any car, but the 126 is an extra heavy beast. Thanks for your note.
This is a big job indeed. Ralph is on point however so no worries !
Thank you, Sir!

@@straybenzes Thanks, for the link for the spring compressor.
@@vintage76vipergreenBeetle You bet!
Always great videos. Keep going man.

Nice job.
Thank you!
I have a 3” rusted hole in mine.
I’m thinking of a weld patch vs replace. Watcha think?
Not worth the risk in my opinion. It's too an important a part to mess with.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ON WIPERS PLEASE TELL ME ITS EASY TO GET TO IF I HAVE TO CHANGE THE MOTOR

ANY VIDEO ON CHANGING OXYGEN SENSOR ON 1989 420 SEL AND HOW TO TAKE HEAD LIGHT OUT
Sorry, but this is on the back log of videos to make.
WHAT IT SHOUULD IDLE AT AND HOW TO ADJUST 420 SEL 89
Between 650-750 rpm. Assuming that there are no major air leaks and the idle mix screw is set to max RPM and further assuming the OVP is in working order than you can adjust the idle control valve. There is an upcoming video that I am working on now. Stay tuned.
I FIXED WIPERS EHA CAN TURN DOWN TO MAKE IDLE LOWER
Cool. The EHA does not help you adjust idle speed.
