The R107 and C107 plastic shift bushings are very common parts that need to be replaced more often than not. Can you believe it is the exact same part that was used on all models for over 25 years! It is an inexpensive part that can cause big problems if it breaks out.
For many years, we were receiving frantic requests from customers asking for help with removing the fuel tank filter screen from their 1971 to 1989 350SL, 450SL, 380SL, 500SL, or 560SL (the same issue also applies to all SLC coupes). Until recently, we did not have a solution other than to tell
Hard to believe we took so long to come up with this tool. It was Gerson's genius that made it happen. The secret turned out to be the hook that keeps the tool in place while stretching out the rubber donut. Wow! What a cool tool.
Improve the ride, handling, and safety of your 1986 to 1989 107 SL convertible and coupe. Yes, shocks play a big part in safety and people often do not know this. Old shocks just wear out slowly so you may not "feel" the problem until you install new Bilsteins!

Watch the video below to see how this special wrench is used on the three nuts holding the exhaust downpipe to the turbocharger exhaust flange.
When replacing the thermostat in your order diesel you may end up fitting a lot of corrosion. This kit will help you make sure you do not have any leaks when you install the new thermostat and will prevent corrosion of the housing bolts in the future.
This driver-side tail light is the best we have seen. No crazing, fading or cranks in the lense and the chrome is excellent. ALL METAL (not plastic) reflector and good used soft rubber seal included.
If you are experiencing minor coolant loss on your older model that has the cap on the radiator, it may because you do not have the correct cap. Not all caps are created equal as Kent will point out in the video below:
This is the type of radiator that will require this cap.
This is a hard-to-find adapter that will need if you have one of the early 1990s 5 and 6 cylinder turbo diesel engines. We machine this right here in our shop and it is designed to work directly with our OM61x compression tester ( see related products below):
Have you ever had a hard time finally a very small coolant leak? Do you find yourself adding small amounts of coolant but can not see any leak? Is there a funny smell coming from inside your Benz when you run the heater?
Kent jokingly mentions this has become a late W123 epidemic! You see this problem happening on all late model 240D, 300D, 300CD, and 300TD wagons.
This easy-to-install kit could do wonders for your older diesel engine. The lift pump is almost always forgotten when it comes to maintenance on the OM616 and OM617 engines.
BACK IN STOCK!!! JUNE 2023
Kent has sourced 2 special Viton o-rings for the outer pump housing on these early djetronic Bosch electric fuel pumps. There are two orings that harden with age causing the pump to leak fuel at the outer end of the pump.
This kit includes two pump motor rubber seals and one plastic plug for the extra hole (if needed). Some tanks have only one pump, some have one pump and one plug, and some have two pumps. and one plug. So we give you this combination to cover most tanks.
Many uses for this quality hard steel tool including removing W123 and early W126 motor mount bolts.
This is a perfect fit for the O.E. copper sealing ring. You only need one but we sell these as a set of two so you will have a spare.
This is where this sealing ring is located. On top of the fuel injection lift pump and at the base of the hand primer pump:
This is a "must-have" kit when adjusting release "pop" pressures on older diesel mechanical fuel injectors. It is the internal spring "shim" thickness that determines the exact pressure required for the release of fuel at the tip of the injector.
Very high-quality steel. Original Napa branded.
This tool will allow you to remove a cylinder head pre-chamber on a 1990 to 1991 350SD 350SDL (126 chassis), 1990 to 1993 300D 2.5 (124 chassis), and 1992 to 1995 300SD / S350 (140 chassis). The special black fitting attached to the slide hammer is custom made in our shop.
On a regular basis, Kent and Gerson custom make tools to make certain jobs go easier and faster. So is the case with this long reach ratchet. It was developed to get glow plugs out of the older diesel engines without having to remove the hard lines.
This is our complete kit for an at-home DIY repair. Loose and worn out guide rod ball joint bushings are the most common front suspension problem on the W126 sedans and coupes. Check the condition of yours if you have not recently done so.
If you already have our complete repair kit and just need an extra set of seals (10) here you go. No instructions included.
You will receive two (2) five liter bottles more than enough to do a full oil change on any vehicle:
If you acquire an older Mercedes diesel and want to test those large Bosch injectors with your V3 gasoline bench tester, you will need 4 things to complete the conversion: 3000 PSI gauge, our new capture bottle to hold the larger injectors, injector sealing kit, and Kent’s written manual and vid
Please, what you see is exactly what will receive. These are mostly from OM616 and OM617 diesel engines and related transmissions and may NOT all be from the same vintage or chassis model. Study the picture carefully. Only one exactly like this.

We know that many of you own multiple Mercedes, including both gas and diesel models. If you own one of Kent’s fuel injector pressure testers you no doubt will want to test all your applicable mechanical fuel injectors in both types of older engines.

If you own one of the early Mercedes overhead camshaft engines from the mid-1950's up to the mid-1970s that have mechanical (non-self-adjusting) lifters this is a MUST HAVE tool! It does NOT work on the M110 twin cam engine.
This is one set that will pretty much do it all: door panels, radio, windows, interior trim, exterior trim, engine, fastener plugs, seals, etc. Strong enough to even change a bicycle tire...
For newer Mercedes, you will be hard pressed to remove some of the fasteners without this socket set, especially around the engine. This is one of the higher quality sets we have seen.
If you have worked on 5-cylinder 617 turbo diesel cylinder heads before you already know how important it is to have the correct socket for the star cylinder head bolts. This socket is a must to properly remove and re-torque those bolts.
Get rid of that old and ineffective transmission fluid in your older power steering system. It is the number one cause of excessive gear wear in your steering box. This is our partial kit that does not include the fluids so it can be shipped by air mail. Please study the pictures here.
Get rid of that old and ineffective transmission fluid in your older power steering system. It is the number one cause of excessive gear wear in your steering box. This kit will include almost everything you will need to do this yourself, along with complete step-by-step video instructions.
Very good bolt with tight hex. Always use thread locking compound when replacing these bolts. Easy to round out with the wrong tool. See correct tool below:
This is the hose on the left side of your engine that seems to always rot and leak power steering fluid. If you look closely at it you will most likely see small cracks in the hose. This is the larger size hose used on those early models with power steering from the early 1960's through 1976.
Super nice part. Appears to be NOS stock. No rust or paint flaking. Comes with good clips and are springs are excellent
UPS ground shipping only. Can not be shipped internationally. Rather than try to explain what this kit does and how it does it we are going to ask you to watch the video below if you have not already done so.
These might be needed when replacing the engine head or aluminum water pump housing. This includes the water pump bypass tube and the two small banjo bolts for the tube along with aluminum sealing rings.
These are O.E. Bilstein shocks. They will fit all R129s (except the V12) from 1990 to 2002. Includes the 300SL 500SL SL320 and SL500. Hardware as shown below is included with each shock. ( x2)
This is the very best hose Kent has found to use to install spark plugs in restricted spaces. Watch the video below and he will demonstrate.
