Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / February 2005probably a dumb question
I'm working on the rear brakes on my 280e auto. How do I get to turn the wheel by hand? I've tried neutral but it doesn't seem to go far before running into very solid (gear-like) resistance. tia Ants > I'm working on the rear brakes on my 280e auto.

Somewhat... but obviously you haven't played around with rear end... >> Both rear end wheel must be in air to rotate.. be very careful when you > jack [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > the strong resistance) will allow one wheel to turn independantly of the > other, thats the point of a differential. Could be what we used to call "limited slip" which doesn't allow this to happen. Kind of nice feature when you have one wheel hanging off the road.... i think he needs to jack the rearend up before trying to spend the wheel. > >> Both rear end wheel must be in air to rotate.. be very careful when you > > jack [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > to happen.
