I need to replace the steering coupling on a 450 SEL 6.9. What is the easiest way to replace this part, do I need to pull the steering column?
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

are you a member of
His 6.9 is the 116 body. Isn't the M-100 the 600 limo body with the 6.3 engine?
The easiest way to replace the coupling is to drop the steering box down.....
The m-100.info site has been getting progressively less active, and is now pretty sparsely attended. A somewhat more active group can be found at

M-100 refers specifically to the engines used in the 600 (W100),
300SEL 6.3 (W109) and 450SEL 6.9 (W116). The three models taken together are often called the Mercedes M-100sMichael Trei

the 6.9 is an M100 too, just improved.
I'd really love to download that '79 450 sel 6.9 handbook PDF, but i dont see my self paying $45 to join. as thats all i want and ill probably never go back.. do you know where i could download it for free?
If $45 is holding you back, then you really don't want it enough....yet.;-)

The M-100.cc site also has a members-only area too. M-100.org does not, but has no special features, but it is the most active board.

If $45 is too expensive, you should not own a M-100! Thats a cheap day.

Fred;
This is no longer true. M-100.org has had 274 posts in the last month, but something like 1/4 to 1/3 of those were spam or spam related (complaints about spamers). M-100.cc has had 310 posts in the last month, none of which were spam (moderated board). As I am not a member of IAMO, I don't know what happens on their members only board, but their 13 public boards are practically dead with a grand total of
41 posts in the last month.Some people like Dan Smith still post to all three sites, and that's fine. Gradually however, I have found that most of the people interested in discussing the cars, rather than griping and complaining, are moving over to the spam free M-100.cc site. Personally, I have posted there exclusively since May of last year.
