Hydraulic Cylinder Repair Kit & More Compatible With 04-11 Mercedes SLK Convertible .R171

The syringe was super useful and the cost is right. The pick tools are the 2.99 Harbor Frieght specials so don't expect much use out of them and the directions were decent. I have done this install without the syringe and that made all the difference in filling the reservoir with hydrolic fluid. Good luck getting the C-clamp out without drilling and make sure to place cloth down over you interior, it leaks like a shower.

First, you need a good drill, a 1/8 drill bit and a steady hand to release the retaining clip.Second, you have to take apart the entire mid section of the car to get to the hydraulic pump. It’s no small task.Third, the only ring included is a stopper ring, it does not include the plunger ring, which will also need to be replaced.The syringe that came with mine was junk and broke. I had a medicine syringe from the kids and was able to use that more effectively.The fluid and ring are correct though and the repair is something you can do yourself if you are patient and handy.This kit should include a better syringe, a drill bit, and the plunger ring to be complete.

This is not a simple repair but this kit with the provided instructions worked great and made repairing it myself possible. They give you way more hydraulic fluid than you need.
