190SL Rear Axle Rebuild Overview

Very helpful public service advisory - not for the faint of heart - good to see where another cliff lies…

Hey Carl, good to hear from you. With a rear axle, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Most home DIY owners can replace the rubber boot with a split boot, input flange seal, and outer axle seals. And even remove the trailing arms to replace the rubber bushings. (BTW, we have those bushings in polyurethane, which is an upgrade compared to OEM rubber). Otherwise, tearing the reax axle down requires lots of knowledge and an array of parts.
