Replacing injector return lines
I have a 76 300D 115, I noticed the injector return lines are leaking, do you just cut them to length of the old ones if they are longer? Is there any tricks to doing this job or is it pretty straight forward pull the onld ones off and pop the new ones on? Thanks much

I have the same car and just replaced mine this week. I would buy/order new lines and end plug. I pulled my old ones off gently with pliers and cut the new lines to size and slipped them on. So far no more leaks.

yes and no, pull off the old ones, cut new to fit. Don't try to find "lines that will work" Go with original MB lines, you will be gad you did, also check out the last "plug" and replace as well

Be careful not to grip them to hard with the pliers when pulling the old ones off. You can crimp the nipples on the injectors. Making a cut with a razor blade , helps to get them off without a struggle. Hose grip pliers are nice to have

What's the deal with that end plug, anyway? I ordered some new line but the plug didn't come with it. That part doesn't appear to be leaking, so I think I'm OK for now, but for future reference, where could I get one of those plugs for cheap?
Thanks.
