  • Yes, I'm an idiot and you'll see just how stupid I can be when you watch this video on my 1995 Mercedes E320 Wagon rebuild. I'll show you Mercedes W124 antenna replacement and show you which wheels viewers voted to put on my car! And of course, I'll show you how to use a boroscope to remove an antenna stuck in your gas tank... lol.

    Great video Mike. Love the duck. My father-in-law had a flock of ducks (wild and domestic) long long before I met him. He also had a dog and the ducks followed her around like she was their mother. All he had to do at night was whistle and the dog would come with all the ducks following. The dog would sit by the door of the pen until every last duck was in for the night. Then one day the dog ran out into the road and was hit and killed. The ducks started disappearing one by one until none were left.
    Now remember, no more siphoning gas with an antenna. It might get stuck on the anti siphoning device in the filler neck.
    P.S. I voted for the original wheels, but these truly look awesome. I can never imagine the final look of something will have until the something new is mounted in place.

    Mike, I'd say that anyone that works on cars has had a similar experience. As things went on it seemed to be a bad idea... but if it would have worked and cured the problem then it would have been a good idea. Sometimes you don't know if you don't try. But seriously something with teeth on it, cut in one direction had all the makings of a funny as hell video. I feel your frustration and your success. ✌

    At least you got the antenna out of the fuel tank. I had my favorite rechargeable flashlight attached to a coat hanger and it fell off in one of the D-pillars on my minivan. Three years later and it’s still in there…

    Nice antennaloscopy Dr. Mikey! I think the patient will survive! Imagine how much a dealership would have charged you to drop the tank/exhaust etc. in order to retrieve that annoying wayward antenna. I would have just snipped it and let it live in its new gasoline home for perpetuity.
    Please take us on your road trip to Atlanta Mikey.

  • @roydavis2242
    @roydavis2242 Місяць тому +2

    As soon as you started to put the antenna into the neck of the tank I was shouting NO, but you didn't hear me. LOL. I had a young man do something similar but he ended up dropping what he had into the tank. We had to drop the tank to get it out. I hope you addressed the venting issues while you had the tank out.

  • @jpcii
    @jpcii Місяць тому

    Put a loop in the end of the coat hanger just large enough to slide over the antenna and then advance it down the antenna. Good old Interventional radiology trick. Since you don’t have a sheath. Well, I just saw you did something similar. Kudos!
