Rear Convert Hydraulics (blind guy can do it?)

[mroliveira]

Is there any information available on how to replace the rear cylinders on a 1993 SL300?
I just replaced the front latch cylinder above the pass visor and not one day later, the driver's rear is pouring out?

I would appreciate any help on "how to" do the rear ones.

PS,
the front was so easy "a Blind guy" could do it!
(I'm about 75% blind, GLAUCOMA)

Thanks,
Marcio

Just look at them. It is self explanatory, really. Nothing hard about it. The lines disconnect the same way.

What has happened is very common especially with an older R129. You now have put additional pressure to the system. If you took your car to a Dealer they would have suggested that you replace all 10 hydraulic cylinders so as to reduce the labor. But you would have paid about $1300.00 in parts. May I suggest that if you decide to continue rebuilding the system please consider sending your cylinders to Dennis Ficken for him to replace the seals. He does them at a very modest price and a quick turn around. Please read R129 soft top 'Hydraulic System' ultimate thread

I second that on Dennis Ficken.
