Re: Rear axle repair kit installation

Quote:
[. My question is. Can this job be done without special MB tools. What good is a low price on a kit if it can't be installed without a thousand dollars worth of MB special tools.
Thanks

Yes, this job can be done without special MB tools. A press will be required(Local machine shop). Boostnbenz has done 'em and I have also. Not that bad but requires some ingenuity. I did mine a little differently than Boostn', but he has excellent instructions posted, I don't.

My axles had about 350K on them...fresh grease/oil ,paint, new boots and swapped sides on the car when I put them back to even out the wear. Works great, try it.
