I am trying to fix my b2 piston on my 83 300sd. I cant get the old one Out. I have tried for hours. All the small peices came out, but the large main piece is stuck in there and wont come out. Anybody ever have this happen to them? What can I do?

I'm having the same problem. I'm assuming the remaining part is wedged in there but I can't figure out how to shift it either. I'm curious to see what kind of advice you get.

Sorry I can't help either. I need to do the same repair on my 83 300SD. If I could ask...Where is the B2 piston located ?

It's located on the passenger side of the transmission just above the transmission pan.

I've done a few in the car, never had the piston get stuck like that.. What have you done to give yourself more room to manuver in there?

Ok, I just got mine out. I had to muscle it out with a crow bar. It was really stuck. Now I'm trying to get the seal out...it seems pressed in but I can't knock it out from behind.

Just curious, how did you use a crow bar to get it out??
I am thinking about using a slide, but I am worried about metal chips getting in the tranny from drilling the tap hole.
