560SL - Replacing and Tensioning V-Belts

In this video, I replace and properly tension all five v-belts using two different methods. I also announce what time I will livestream for the for the first time on KZbin: Saturday, April 27, 2023! I hope you all can join me for this one-time event.

I am documenting every part of the 560SL restoration build . The idea is to end up with the best documented 560SL rebuilds on the Internet.
I want everyone who visits my channel to know about a friend of mine named Tasos. His videos inspire me to be more like him. He is so much better than I am. You can find his KZbin channel at:

My videos are not sponsored by anyone. The products and tools I use are products and tools I have purchased with my own money. I include links below to any special tools or products used in this video.
The special v-belt tenstion testing tool I used was the Gates 91107 Krikit V-Belt Tension Gauge:

I used an extra long allen hex bit socket that I purchased on Amazon. This is a good set for a decent price:

The short alen hex bit socket I used is also from a set I purchased on Amazon. I also like these shorter ones:

Tony, I told you I expect a test drive as well! I don't doubt in you! The car will start for sure!

When I bought the SL55 from my friend, he omitted to take out the CD's from the CD changer and lo and behold...there was a couple of Led Zeplin's albums. My fav is Rain Song - always reminds me of the British summer. Good luck with the start. Mike

Led Zeppelin is my most favorite musicians. 80% of all the music I own is Led Zeppelin. The other 20% is Hendrix. I love everything Led Zeppelin, but for me, my favorite song is Ramble On. Love the words and the arrangement. I wish I could play their music during a live stream.

Where did you get the shop manual for your Mercedes Benz? I plan to change all the belts on my 560SEL soon and your video is a help. Thanks for the informative video.

[@TonyLiveTV]

I believe these are the same belts. I include a link to the manual I am using at the bottom of the description of every video. If I reference the manual in the video, a link to that manual will be provided in the description area.
