  • In this video, we're taking a part a trunk handle on a 2007 W211 Mercedes-Benz E280 CDI
    The aluminum shaft in the handle oxidized and expanded, thus making the handle stick in the open position. Luckily by just cleaning it and greasing the moving parts it works like new now.
    Here is a list of tools that were used in the video.
    Some brands may differ from the video, but the function is the same:
    Clip pry tool:
    amzn.to/3Hr0GcR
    Ratcheting screwdriver:
    amzn.to/4b87kST
    Milwaukee driver bit set:
    amzn.to/494Wyez
    10mm nut driver:
    amzn.to/3S5kDuD
    Ratchet for 1/4 Inch Hex Shank bits:

    Knipex long nose pliers:
    amzn.to/3OapA4e
    Hook and pick set
    amzn.to/48MWIri
    Rubber mallet:
    amzn.to/4b2qHNf

    I cannot get the plastic shell off the back of the cylinder lock. Can't pull/twist by hand or pry it off. Tips? Got it by prying harder👍

      Soak it with penetrating oil.
      Try gently tapping it with a screwdriver to knock it loose.
      Could also use a fan to gently heat it up.

    👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Another job for a very rainy day. Many thanks. Was expecting it to be a broken or unseated torsion spring until I watched this.

    What was the point of clicking that wire in the trunk lock trying to fix mine rn

      By clicling the trunk handle release switch, I made sure that the release actuator is working as it should and the problem is only in the trunk handle mechanism.

    Awesome video, and exactly what I needed. Could I trouble you to link some of the specific tools used in the video? Such as the one used for popping the tabs out and the tools used for disassembling the handle to reach the aluminum shaft? Thanks!

    Can I ask if the w211 e280 manual gasoline car is very rare?

    • @restorationvalve

      My one is a E280 CDI
      The manuals are quite rare, especially the V6 and inline 6 engines

      you can slow down the speed of the video (bottom right of the screen to 0.5) and mute the sound as that will slow down the music as well and drive you nutz but at least you can see things slowly. Hope that helps.
