ML500 W164 2006 TRANSFER CASE REPAIR CHANGING THE CHAIN AND BEARINGS

[@dimuslugi]

thank you for this video - I see the Polish accent, our Made in Poland bearings :) - that's odd because in Poland we are looking for bearings for Koyo/NSK/NTN/Nachi/GMB (Japan) or SKF (Sweden) or sometimes distributed by INA (Germany) - depending on the car manufacturer that we have

[@eye_d]

Nice work. Silent and good video is realy rare now.

[@mymercrepairs1097]

Thank you;) I try to create films that I would like to watch myself, simple, detailed and helpful

[@deade001]

Good video! I did the job today and with this video it was easy to do. 👍😁

[@mymercrepairs1097]

thanx

[@zhaidalian5845]

Hi what gasket maker did you use 22:36 to seal the transfer case back together? Most gasket RTV silicone high temperature requires an hour to set before torquing the bolts and up to 24hr to cure before adding fluid. It appears what you’re using is different and no need to wait. Is it for high temps?

[@PaulGVerma]

Excellent way to Show the work Procedure.. Bravo..

[@scromtinker7421]

Thanks, this also applies to certain year AWD Durango and Grand Cherokee. You can even do the job while on the car if you don't need to replace that inner bearing.

[@Exzorzsist]

Hey what do you do to get the ring on the shaft to pop in at 11:20 ? I'm rebuilding a W166 Transfer Case that looks a lot like this one and I can't seem to find a way to get the front and rear output flanges out. Thanks for the help!

[@williamj1969]

Good job! Thanks for getting that on video so others know that the job isn't too hard for a DIY'er. I am going to do the one on my GL350 in the next month or so. What was the telling sign that it needed to be replaced?

[@mymercrepairs1097]

the gearbox jerks in 1st and 2nd gears and the chain was stretched, you can see it on the video 1:33s

[@williamj1969]

Just ordered a chain and slide to do the same job. Do you have any clue how often the TC was serviced? Trying to get a feel of how often I’m going to have to replace the chain.

[@mymercrepairs1097]

It depends on driving style and oil change usually 150-200kkm

[@mymercrepairs1097]

use the same oil as in the gearbox number MB 236.14 replace every 16-20kkm

[@mymercrepairs1097]

I forgot, when you disassemble the transfer case, I also check the front and rear differential in a few days I will publish a video of the rear differential repair

[@vividergaming8036]

i need the bearing for the long shaft is it called input or output shaft??

[@oliviertrandac7896]

Super vidéo, cependant comment fais tu pour enlever les moyeux qui relient les arbres de transmission. Je n' arrive pas à démonter à cause de la bague Merci.

[@em4703]

Why did they used a chain in the ML transfer case and gears in the rest of the models like the c class and e?? I just don't see any advantage to chain stretch (no matter how much this might last, a gear will not make much noise even when a bit worn).

[@RobertR-74]

Thank you so much! Now I am sure I can make it.

[@yaoaoussi]

Thanks i was able to get it done but now the car won’t start 😢😢. Have power but it won’t crank. Any idea what can be the issue??

[@RoadHeros610]

Hello I have a question inside the housing is that a clutch .. you didn't show that part in the video the disassembly so if the truck is raised in the air the front and rear wheels don't nessesacrly move at the same time ?

[@faiqabdullayev2513]

Good job! Thanks a lot for nice video. but have you change the rubber seals? Because its also needs to change .

[@Rogues4Ever]

someone please buy this guy a soft hammer jeez

[@MuratMujdeci-pr8hb]

Perfect video.thank you very much.all Mercedes w164 are the same chain and bearing? Example ml 300 or 350 even 500?

[@GabrielGarcia-nx3go]

You didn't show how you got out the 2 top bolts

[@wot48320]

Remove the front proper shaft and lower the transmission, you should have more room to get to the top 2 bolts. It should be possible to put a 3/8 air rachet up there with a long extension.

[@iamd6416]

nice video indeed! but have you change the rubber seals?

[@danjelgjatari8384]

Is it almost the same as in Mercedes-Benz e500 4matic w211 2005 ?

[@jeffr5053]

@13:30 Did you change anything at this part. It looked like you just removed and reinstalled?

[@jeffr5053]

Nevermind. I've just seen that transfer case repair kits include the parts mention. Good job though. Not really as difficult as it may seem.

[@mymercrepairs1097]

Of course, I installed new bearings. I bought a whole set of and replaced them all

[@anybaptista3326]

Olá boa tarde gostaria de saber onde comprou esse corrente se faz favor ?

Hi I need this done for my 2009 GL 320. Are you able to do this for a fee?

[@patricwell8335]

Hell yeah lets go...been looking for a video like this to fix my gl450 P.s what site you got the kit from also what kinda noise were you getting...under load and acceleration loud clinking noise like the axle isn't catching

[@josuemeza7979]

Excelente trabajo tank’s

[@saeidieghani5287]

good . help me a lot dude

[@rickysantaella8145]

Did you have to remove the rear drive shaft?

[@mymercrepairs1097]

No, but I had to disassemble the rear shaft bearing. it is more convenient to remove the entire shaft, but it can be done without disassembling it

[@jodonkey1]

Where did you buy the kit

[@josephacierno8235]

What is the torque for the transfer case bolts? Thanks

[@pitthebike]

czesc. Napisc prosze skad pochodzisz. Mieszkam w Niemczech i mam ML420 cdi ktory poczebowal by pare napraw. Jezeli nie mieszkasz dalej niz 1000 km, chetnie bym przyjechal z prosba o taka naprawe. Zaplace robotke i czesci. Mam nadzieje ze odpowiesz. Dziekuje z gory.

[@mymercrepairs1097]

Dziękuję za odpowiedzi niestety obecnie nie mam możliwość wykonania takich napraw nawet w moim samochodzie :( Może za jakiś czas będę w stanie pomóc ale ciężko mi powiedzieć kiedy to nastąpi

[@josephleister9198]

Nice work...thank you.

[@MH20181]

Would this be the same on the R class 500?

[@silvianenova6455]

Can you tell me which torx size you use?

[@sadokbarbouche9427]

can these explode inside and cause the car to stop moving forward and causes the front wheels to spin loose in park

[@mymercrepairs1097]

Yes, of course, if the chain breaks, it may be as you write

[@Bigworm_707]

Does the car need to be leveled to get the driveshaft Off ?

[@Bigworm_707]

Also where are you located

[@peter_c]

Very nice. What was the cleaning spray and the sealant used? I assume the lube was MB ATF? What tool did you pull the little bearing out with?

[@mymercrepairs1097]

The cleaning fluid is a brake cleaner. It is cheap, effective and easy to apply. Yes I used ATF MB oil the same as for the gearbox I used the most ordinary puller to remove the bearings The sealant is Reinz - Reinzosil

[@peter_c]

@@mymercrepairs1097 Cool.. i'm considering doing this job ... I'm wondering though if you're not sometimes tapping on the inner race and hoping the new bearing doesn't come apart (like 15:40, 19:17). I guess the only other way would be to put the bearing on the item first and then tap the combined assembly into place with the outer race. This would seem to be hard at 15:40, but I've run into issues where a bearing separates (like wheel bearing when pushing the hub into the bearing already in the knuckle). I'm not a pro, so it's really good to see a video like this and see that this method works. By the way, how would you do the seals if you did them? I figure if I try to refurb the transfer case and get a kit, might as well do the seals.

[@mymercrepairs1097]

@@peter_c I understand your concern you can damage your bearings like this. You have to hit carefully Or best is to use a hydraulic press, but it also requires skill because too much force can destroy the bearing or casing. And not everyone has such equipment like hydraulic press. I want to show the simplest repair methods with the simplest tools I used a wrench, not a hammer, and I hit it often but lightly and the bearing works fine. Seals, of course, it's good to replace , I couldn't buy new ones and the old ones were in working order, so I decided to put them old so far no leaks , in case of problems, they can be easily replaced

[@RoadHeros610]

Hello excellent video good detail..I just bought an 164 for very cheap with a transfer case that sounds like something is rubbing can you tell me where you bought your rebuild kit from it seems pretty complete

[@mymercrepairs1097]

I bought the set in this store autoczescigabrys.pl/kategorie/mercedes/czesci-do-reduktorow-mercedes/ but you can look for a similar set on the Internet. Just make sure what version of the transfer case you have

[@RoadHeros610]

Ok I'll check it out thanks alot ..

[@190Tai]

Did that car have off road package (low range and lockable diffs) or just regular?

[@mymercrepairs1097]

It's a normal transfer case without the OFFroad package. Fortunately, the cost of repairing the low range and lockable diffs version is much higher

[@FeritElveren-im2hv]

What is the sympton

[@alert1022]

Hey there... very nice video! Is it needed any special specific tool? Or just universal tools??

[@mymercrepairs1097]

Thank you :) I used ordinary tools, the only bigger problem was Disassembling the output shaft. There is a ring that needs to be pressed into the shaft, I used a sharp tool to push the ring in and I held the shaft to keep the ring from coming back. There is a special tool that I don't have but it can be done without it :)
