👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Another job for a very rainy day. Many thanks. Was expecting it to be a broken or unseated torsion spring until I watched this.

[@seer7327]

Thank you for sharing! I may do this on my car.

Think I will just leave it the way it is

Awesome video, and exactly what I needed. Could I trouble you to link some of the specific tools used in the video? Such as the one used for popping the tabs out and the tools used for disassembling the handle to reach the aluminum shaft? Thanks!

[@restorationvalve]

Hi, here are the links to the tools. Hope that they are the ones you were looking for. amzn.to/3Hr0GcR amzn.to/48MWIri FYI, I added the tool list to the video also.

I can't get the shell off. I did this before but I have one that I can't get off. Suggestions? Can I pry?

[@restorationvalve]

@@seer7327 Yeah, you could try applying some force to it, but just with cousin. Make double sure that everything is unbolted before attempting it. It could be possible that some has applied some sealant underneath it.

[@seer7327]

@@restorationvalve Thank you! I managed to pry it off using a plastic pry tool on the bottom edge of one side while applying force with my hand on the other. I sprayed some penetrating/lubricating fluid and that also likely helped.

What was the point of clicking that wire in the trunk lock trying to fix mine rn

[@restorationvalve]

By clicling the trunk handle release switch, I made sure that the release actuator is working as it should and the problem is only in the trunk handle mechanism.

[@seer7327]

I cannot get the plastic shell off the back of the cylinder lock. Can't pull/twist by hand or pry it off. Tips? Got it by prying harder👍

[@restorationvalve]

Soak it with penetrating oil. Try gently tapping it with a screwdriver to knock it loose. Could also use a fan to gently heat it up.

Can I ask if the w211 e280 manual gasoline car is very rare?

[@restorationvalve]

My one is a E280 CDI The manuals are quite rare, especially the V6 and inline 6 engines

[@jeangaelcognat4988]

Une moto n'a pas ces problèmes là !!!! 😂😂😂

[@maxxbenzz7842]

What is the point of the video? You just show u in fast motion do uhh who knows?

[@Triggerman2505]

you can slow down the speed of the video (bottom right of the screen to 0.5) and mute the sound as that will slow down the music as well and drive you nutz but at least you can see things slowly. Hope that helps.
