Video Description

Turn on subtitles or view the transcript at the bottom of the description if you'd like explanations on what I'm doing throughout the video. Part 1: https://youtu.be/W-9RtCE5t48 A second round of repairs for this 1975 Mercedes 240D. My friend's been putting some miles on this car now after I de-moused it in the last video. It's time to fix a few more things, like replace all the brakes and some steering components, plus a couple other items. I also included some maintenance on the 1986 325 BMW, belonging to the same owner as the Chevy Blazer I featured quite a while ago. Also, I moved halfway through this video, so that's why you may notice a change of scenery towards the end. Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction 01:00 - Rebuilding the rear brake calipers and replacing the pads/rotors 14:20 - Rebuild of the front brakes 28:47 - Replacing the tie rods 38:50 - Will an ozone generator cure the mouse smell? -No, I thought it worked at first but the smell came back after a few days. 41:39 - Seized fill/drain plug on the differential 47:27 - Replacing the leaking brake master cylinder 52:48 - BMW repairs. 54:18 - Oil change 56:16 - Fixing/troubleshooting the coolant level sensor 1:00:40 - Fixing the antenna 1:04:47 - Trunk weatherstripping 1:07:06 - All done 1:09:07 - My friend's cat, Ginkgo
