Hi there, am busy slowly "restoring" a C180 petrol. Just had the engine
harness rewired and a throttle body replaced by a Bosch specialist. He
did a fantastic job. The cost was about a third of what the MB agents
wanted. Really impressed with his work.
Now I need to attend to the bearings in the alternator ... Is it a
difficult job which requires specialist tools .. apart from the usual
toolbox which most car owners seem to have. Will do the brushes /
regulator at the same time.
Thanks.
Bernard.

I had my 190e alternator re bearinged (is that a word)? by a local
alternator/electrical shop. It didn't cost much and I did the removal
and reinstallation.

Good luck,
Marty

Thanks Marty,
Think I might just do that. It's just a bit awkward here where I live in
that it's 30km to the workshop and I have to arrange lifts with
pensioners ;-) and I actually enjoy tackling the smaller jobs myself as
long as I have to tools.
Cheers.
Bernard.
