When replacing the front struts ( shock absorbers ) on a W201 W124 or some W129 chassis it is frustrating and time-consuming trying to remove and replace the big 22 mm top nut on the front struts ( shocks ).

While working on the fuel injectors of a 240D this week, Kent finally decided he had had enough. After 20 years of fighting those fuel injector return hoses he decided he just had to come up with a tool to make the job easier. 2 hours later the tool was designed and the prototype made.

This is one of Kent's favorite tools around his shop. It is used almost daily. The tool rose out of a need to be able to safely hold fuel inectors while cleaning when with a large high speed wire wheel. No tool like this is availabe so it had to be built in our shop!

This is a must-have if you attempting a caliper rebuild on one with stuck pistons. If you own one of our injector pressure testers here is a great add-on that will allow you to use the tester to remove stuck pistons from old brake calipers.

6 high quality Bosch glow plugs with Special carbon reamer included. This reamer should always be used to ream out the glow plug holes when changing your plugs to improve efficiency and glow plug life.

When working on automotive engines a long heavy machinist straight edge is a must. This is the best way to tell if the mating surfaces are flat and true. That includes cylinder heads, engine blocks, intake and exhaust manifolds as well as critical sealing metal to metal covers and housings. 

Works on all models from 1977 to 1993 with the Bosch C.I.S Fuel Injection system - see models listed below: Now you can do it yourself on the bench with this inexpensive tester- Save big $$.  Ever wonder how well your old CIS fuel injectors are working?

FITS all 116 123 Diesel and Gasoline,  and 126 chassis from 1977 to 1985. Finally a socket to remove your fuel tank screen that really works. Most correct size sockets tend to be SO BIG that they require 3/4 inch drive ratchets and extensions to use them. Who has those in their tool box??

Here is your chance to add a special torque wrench to your tool collection.

17 Inches long for heavy torque applications. The best thing Kent likes about this torque wrench is how easy it is to read, set, and lock in place. You will love this one!

Good quality tool with strong magnet. Extension is approximately 10 inches long.

You will receive two specialty drill bits and a modified star socket, along with very detailed video instructions on how to use these tools to remove a damaged head hex bolt without damaging the door frame or the old striker.

These quality 6.5 inch wire cutters are made of special steel, the blades are high-frequency hardened steel. Suitable for cutting soft copper wire, plastic wire, small cable, aluminum wire, soft alloy wire, jewelry making, multifunctional manual edge banding pliers.

This the exact puller you will receive. Handy for small jobs.

Also works on 380SL and 560SL transmissions. Before you think you can easily remove the Bowden cable from the transmission, watch the video below.

You must drive this star bit into the head of the damaged bolt with a hammer, but it will hold. The bolt will then need to be replaced. Watch the video below as Kent will explain how it works.

For mount kits and hardware, see related products below.

When you need the torque, this will deliver.

Kent was a little skeptical when you first used this—it sounded like it would be too good to be true. The first use was getting some rusty bolts off the Garrett T3 turbine housing ( some of you know the pain there!). Well, it worked, and it worked very well.

I call this the hidden and forgotten bushing. Why? Because you can not see it to inspect it, it hardly ever gets changed. When these bushings wear out you will feel "weird" movement in your rear end, especially going over rough ground.

Nice to have a few extra 13mm sockets around. This is the first tool that gets lost when working on old Mercedes. The tall shoulder inside helps to hold the nut or bolt in a position to make it easier to start the threads.

This easy-to-operate ONE gallon pressure pump tank will help you fill your 722.9 transmission with minimal mess and fuss. It includes over 5 feet of hose ( 30 inches which are clear so you can see the flow rate.

Watch the video below for a full explanation of this tool and how it works. Kent will demonstrate how easy it is to remove and replace the front drive (serpentine) belt on most M112 and M113 engines from 1998 to 2006.
