Front Hydraulic Distributor - R129 SL-Class 1990-2002
There are two options for placing your order:
1. (Most affordable) You send in your leaking Front Hydraulic Distributor, and Top Hydraulics rebuilds it.
- Top Hydraulics replaces & upgrades all six seals in your distributor with much tighter, durable square shoulder seals. Top Hydraulics' seals have a far more reliable seal and much longer service life.
OR
2. (Fastest) Core Exchange Option where Top Hydraulics ships the part from our inventory first ($140 plus a $100 deposit).
- Option 2 means that you get a rebuilt & upgraded distributor from Top Hydraulics' inventory first, then you ship back your original part for credit of your $100 core refund. You get a distributor that has been rebuilt to outlast and outperform OEM replacements.
No sales tax for orders in the USA
We provide world class technical support
3-year standard warranty (should last decades)
The distributor p/n 1298000022 fails mostly in early model year R129s at this point, and typically after the front lock cylinders 1298001672 have been replaced. Leaks will show most likely by drips from the rear view mirror area, or by fluid running down the hydraulic lines towards the front lock cylinders, making it appear as if the front lock cylinders were leaking.
To remove the original distributor, you will need to remove the dome light assembly.
First, remove the rear view mirror. The mirror is held in place only by a strong spring - push forward on the mirror (simulating someone hitting it in an accident), and it will pop off. Next, remove three bolts on the mirror’s bracket. To remove the dome light assembly, you must also find the Phillips screws behind the map lights. The map lights swivel out: push on one side.
Note: push screwdriver firmly into Phillips screws, or the screw heads may strip.
