Thanks for the video! I have lifter tick. I just want to change the lifters. Do the pistons need to be in a specific position before I remove the valve train? Are the lifters hard to get out of the rocker? Thanks!

I m doing same job on my car today use the same tools, my 2005 E500 burned a lot of oil for years. it is easy for upper stems but very difficult for bottom inner stems because the tool too long won't fit to remove the bottom inner springs. Your video only showed the easy part but skip the difficult part. But still good video anyway.

Hi - you made that look easy! Did you need to bleed the rear brake lines? If so, how did you do this? Similarly....did you need to bleed the hydraulic suspension after changing the accumulators? How is the consumer battery in the back of the car - does it run down quickly? Sometimes the battery control module can have issues...especially if anybody has ever made the mistake of disconnecting the front battery before disconnecting the consumer battery, hooking a battery charger directly to the front or rear battery....or worse still trying to jump start from the rear battery. Good luck with this resto. Mike

@gianfrancoa8 ай бұрын
Even though I don't like the way it was originally "fixed", I don't think that arm provides any additional safety. That arm is just to provide the right geometry. The trailing arm, the lower control arm and the shock absorber are the main bearing structures of the rear suspension. Glad that you replace the whole subframe
@OnlyKelp8 ай бұрын
This arm controls the rear toe angle. My thought is that if the weld breaks loose on the highway, the wheel could toe out sharply. At speed, I feel like it could cause some damage. Such as losing control of vehicle and causing an accident. Either way, I agree with you, I’m glad it has a new subframe too.

I believe you're right, especially if it ever fails. Cause if you've ever dealt with a rear bent toe arm, you know that feel is sending your steering sideways. @@OnlyKelp
