This R107 Video: Inspecting Flywheel Driven Plates

Subscribe if you would like to support this project. You may need my help one day and I will be there for you.

I know it is not technically called a "Flywheel", but I added the word "Flywheel" to the title because I found this is often what people search for. What this video and I will explain why this title is important.

This video is relevant to all Mercedes-Benz Mercedes 280SL, 380SL, SL500, 450SL, S500, 560SEL, E500, 560SEC, 420SEL, 500SL, 560SL & more.

I am documenting every part of this vehicle as I put it back together. The idea is to end up with the best documented 560SL rebuilds on the Internet.

I want everyone who visits my channel to know about a friend of mine named Tasos. His videos inspire me to be more like him. His videos have helped me every step of the way. There is NO way I would be this far without his videos and his help. You can find his YouTube channel at:

This video is very detailed and is intended for the absolute beginner (ME). This is how I did things. If you see a problem, let me and the world know by leaving a comment.

Disclosure: I have never pulled an engine before and I have never rebuilt one either. This video series is documenting an inexperienced old guy tore apart his 1987 560SL.

Here is a link to the on-line manual that I am somewhat following:
