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??

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.

Getting that oil pressure line off the bottom of the oil filter housing on the 1977 to 1985 240D, 300D, 300TD, 300CD, and W116 300SD is tough. If you break the line or damage the nut, this part is no longer available new.

They started using 18 mm hardware after 1996. Most wrench kits use to not even have an 18mm combination wrench - let alone a long one ( measures 11 inches long).

It is really frustrating when you doing a job on your Benz and find it needs a 16mm or 18mm tool and you don't have it. Most of the older sets of wrenches and sockets did not include these two sizes. Just before and after 2000 Mercedes started using more of these size nuts and bolts.

Includes a long custom bent 3/8 extension, correct socket, plastic mirror, and locking pin. You add another 3/8 extension to make the job a snap. Watch the video below for a full explanation of this tool and how it works.

ONLY TWO SETS AVAILABLE. ALL of these wrenches are made by Gearwrench.

Removing the front rubber engine mounts requires getting under the car and going up inside a hole in the subframe to remove the main bolt. And it can be a bear! I don't know who they hired to tighten these at the factory, but he must have been a brute.
