My son has an 82 300D with the classic B2 piston failure symptoms. I hate the thought of pulling the transmission. Has anyone successfully replaced the B2 piston without removing the transmission? I've seen posts indicating that it is possible to replace it in the car easily on 126s and with difficulty on 124s. Any tips?
