You have to push gently and evenly from each side for it to slide right on. It's a very tight fit so if it's off at all it hangs up. Never hit them with a hammer! I found a few that were pretty dented up from someone beating them into place. The same goes for taking them off. Just give it even...

I contacted the guy that posted the video and found out they belong to a logging company and the general area they were in. Didn't pursue it any further though(too many projects already). I may contact him again and see if he has any contact info for the company.

Are you planning on ever taking it on the road? The wheel cylinders will be completely full of gunk and rust. I've had a few of those really stuck brake lines when I did my A2. On the 109 I just put a good amount of PB Blaster on every fitting that needed to come off and it's lived up to the...

City storange might be a problem, but lots of people do it. Some people have problems with the HOA. You can only do so much to secure a deuce. If the bad guys want in you can only hope to slow them down. Maintenance is pretty easy being as simple as a deuce is. I didn't get too serious...

That sounds like a good thing too. I go up on the roof of the box a lot and a bed liner might be more durable.

More coming soon! I used a butcher knife, box cutter and straight edge. Mark the line with the straight edge, then also use it as a guide for running the knife. I cut along the line most of the way through with the butcher knife, that should be enough to break it at the seam, then cut the foil...

Got my tires mounted today! Pictures in post #5

Nice concept! Always love seeing the different things people come up with for their 109s.

The flange is part of the axle shaft. You have to remove one axle shaft and both wheels can move.

Mine are mouted directly under the mirrors on my A2. On my 109 they are on the mirror bracket. I think under the mirror is a better place. I have them pointed down at my wheels so I can keep an eye on them and it makes backing easier. It looks like they just bent the mount on the spot mirror and...

You should be able to get the solenoid rebuilt. I took mine to a local starter/alternator shop and they fixed it. The disk and contacts were so shot I'm surprised it started at all.

There's a bunch of good spare tire mount ideas in this thread SPARE TIRES - Benzworld.org - Mercedes-Benz Discussion Forum

I got mine at NAPA.

Always good to see more 109 threads. :jumpin:

I'm having a similar issue. I think I've traced it to the wire going to the relay. It's got some cracks in the insulation so I have a feeling the wire may have corroded. It seems to start easier when I wiggle the wire around. I cleaned the connections, had brand new batteries, rebuilt the...

Welcome to the M109A3 club. Post pics.

This is the same reason why I don't go mudding with my trucks. Yeah it may be fun at the time, but it really sucks later.

Rebuild kit is NAPA UP45.

I still use the military lug wrench and breaker bar :) Just put it on the lug nut and jump on it and they break free. I always bend the bar, but I just turn it the other way for the next one and bend it back. You can take the knuckles off without removing them from the tie rod. I've done this...

Since this eliminates the airpack is there any way adapt it to work the M105A2 trailer brakes?
