Anyone have the Mercedes Benz recommended torque specification for the nut behind the steering wheel?
What kind of oil is recommended?

I'm afraid of applying any torque to my nuts.

dabenz,

I only buy from ACME if they have the lowest price.

P E H

While walking around scout camp looking for a left-handed smoke shifter a wise ole man told me to only buy muffler grease from a local vendor. Micro-climates are so different a good local can mix the perfect batch for the area. Causes trouble when you travel tho...

btw, everyone only had right handed smoke shifters.

The next night we went out on a snipe hunt. Came up empty handed tho.

For all you needy souls:
A police officer states that the correct torque for a nut behind the wheel is:
#1. Jack Danials quart.
#2. Railroad crossing.
#3. Car projecting three inches into train path.
#4. Slow moving freight to apply torque.

Best guess is 350 foot pounds of panic applied to steering wheel during punt.

The officer said; "he had a near life experience that drove him to think"..... LOL

Watching our friend the Coyote drop power pills in the fuel tank.
5000% boost in horse power by the look of it.
Where can I get some?

What if I had used some muffler grease on my muffler donuts, would have they lasted longer?

I'm a little embarrassed to tell you guys this... but, whenever my local parts place runs out of my favorite brand of muffler grease, I just use a little dab of KY Jelly. It changes an off-sounding muffler to a "deep-throated" roar.

Try it sometime. You'll be very pleasantly surprised by how the women react to that KY Muffler sound... Be sure and let all of us know it works for you.

Dunno, perhaps "Rubber Grease" may have helped.
I tried Rubber Grease on some cheques last year. They bounced well.

BTW, anyone got any radio grease, my radio is squeaking now too.

I traded the last case for a particle decelerator for my paint.
