I just picked up a slide jaw to be replaced on my rear drivers side door. These are universal. It appears I have to take out the regulator to grind off the old stud and then hammer/press the new one into place. One of the MB Dealer techs said he would rather replace the whole regulator but they did not want to sell me one for $9.00 (go figure).

Who has replaced one of these and what am I getting myself into tonight?

Lastly what did you use to grese the slides? The MB grease was not available but I figure any high quality synthetic that works in other cars should work here. I am going to lube all the slides and gears and my seats as well so any experiences are appreciated.

Thanks,

James
