Is this the 603 timing indicator box? I need one!
I recently replaced the rings in my '87 300D turbo and it isn't running well, its nailing and all the injectors were rebuilt by Gus at the local Bosch shop so I am very sure they aren't the problem. rather than use the eyeball method (using a mirror to look for the slot in the IP) I'd rather do this the factory way.
Brian, is it possible to list crazy banana's tool?

BTW I have a 32 point MB tool (socket) for removing the delivery nozzles off the 603 IP, to loan free, you may add to the list w/ $30 deposit.

Does anyone have a Tie Rod Ball Joint tool. 21.5mm fork. Inside working height 50mm. Or something else that will work. My air hammer is shot so I thought I'd try one of those little tools.

Vehicle is a 1985 300 Turbodiesel, I need to do all three tie rod assemblies.

A trick that I use to separate such joints is to smack it with a large mallet. You want to hit on the side of the piece that receives the joint. So, if a tie-rod, hit on the spindle next to where it goes through the hole. As always, use caution.

Thanks
David

Thanks,

I'm 1/3 of the way back with the SDL. It's running better, especially after a 200 mile run from NC to Virginia Beach.

Done.

Done.

Thanks, Reid.

OK, duly noted. And I sent payment for a new RIV tool before I left for Texas. Oh well.

Anyone have a timing chain crimping tool they can rent in the next week or so???

I presume you checked with Steve (Brier S)??

I tried the email link. I'll try to PM

Brian, pls alter my status to local loans only and email for exceptions.

I received an email from a member with 0 posts requesting use of tools (2000 miles away) for an 84 whereas user info shows 85 car. Thanks.

Willy, the list only shows the member and the price. The terms are up to the lessor. I would strongly urge you to request a deposit equal to the value of the tool, if you have any doubts about who the person is. Surely someone with a zero post count would necessitate a full value deposit.

I was thinkming that if there is a line of people waiting for a tool, maybe for the shipping it could work that the person mails the tool tot he next person in line...

I dunno it could work..

Steve does this with the timing chain crimper. I have not yet done it with the spring compressor because I'm gaining experience on the durability of the tool.

But, it appears that it really can't be easily damaged so I may elect to go this route very soon.

The cost to ship the spring compressor is at least $15.00 each way. If we can eliminate one of these charges, it drops the rental cost by 25%.

Brian...is the spring compressor a "klann' type ?

Mine is definitely a clone of the Klann made by Baum tools. AFAIK, the second one listed is also similar........but double check.
