[W126 Coupe] Steering Box Refrurb Done!

[Jay Manek]

Hi Guys,

Well with the aid of this doc i just refurbed my steering box - http://www.davidpetryk.net/Mercedes/Steering.htm

I have to say the actual refurbing part was easy... the hard part was removing and refitting the box into the car, you need an assistant really as trying to line up the joints and hold the box at the same time is hard work.

The other issue i had is that getting the input gear in line when refitting is impossible... when i put it all back together the steering wheel was 90 degrees out... so i thought easy, ill just remove the steering wheel and set it straight... but no because now my indicators dont cancel properly!!
Thats a job for another day now!

Also changed the brake fluid while i was there... it was yucky... dont think its been changed in a while!

Hope the document helps someone... its really very accurate..

Thanks

Jay
