Kent has tried a lot of different socket and extension combinations, but for him, this one works the best. You will have multiple options to work in tight places.
A better mousetrap? Yes, it is. If you think Kent is just trying to sell something, watch the video below. After watching it in action, you will believe this really is the best tool out there for the job!
With this deluxe kit, you can reduce frustration and save big when doing it yourself. Watch the videos below to learn more! AMG owners note: THIS WILL NOT FIT THE AMG MODEL M113 ENGINES.

I figured out why the spark plugs in these V6 engines don't seem to ever get changed.
These will fit all 1970 to 1975 3.5 and 4.5 V8 engines with D-Jetronic fuel injection (electronic). Do not use off-brand, platinum or any other "special" spark plug.
For later 1973 to 1980, 4.5 V8 engines - 450SL, 450SLC, 450SE, and 450SEL. Very nice set of high-performance wires for your 450V8. But we ask you to check your distributor cap before ordering as there was a change in 1973 and even some 1974 models may have the older orange/ brown color cap.
These will fit all 1976 to 1991 4.5, 3.8, 5.0 and 5.6-liter V8 engines with Bosch C.I.S fuel injection. PLEASE NOTE: These spark plugs have an aluminum end cap that does screw off. You will receive the plugs with the end cap installed.
Exceptionally nice set of high-performance spark wires as shown. These should be replaced approximately every 80,000 miles for peak performance.
This can be used on older 4, 6, and 8 cylinder gas engines up to around 1991 (end of W126). This works particularly well on the M116 and M117 V8s from 1972 to 1991. On some early V8s, you have very limited room to get to the rear sparkplugs. You can use the short extension.
This can be used on older 4, 6, and 8 cylinder gas engines up to around 2011 that have 5/8" spark plugs (except the M112 and M113 engines due to restriced access - see related products below). On some engines, you have very limited room to get to the rear sparkplugs.
One of the most often neglected easy and inexpensive maintenance items I see on gas engines. Why do people think that spark plugs will last forever or that it doesn't matter what type of plug is used! Aren' they all created equal?
These are the best and only spark plugs you should put in your M119 engine. Hard to find. F 8DC4
Applies to 111 113 108 109 107 114 116 126 Chassis Mercedes.
Very nice set with silicone copper core wires. See detailed pictures below. Two coil leads of different lengths included. Check before ordering as this fits these models from the early 1990s with dual distributors in the front of the engine. 400E. 400SE.
We love the quality of Bremi wires. Kent prefers them on his own cars. We even throw in some silicone grease and show you how to apply it.
You might be surprised to realize you spark plug holes need cleaning - and yes some REALLY need cleaning! This 5-minute video will demonstrate Kent's method of cleaning the threads in the cylinder.
This is the very best hose Kent has found to use to install spark plugs in restricted spaces. Watch the video below and he will demonstrate.
FULL SET of correct Bosch spark plugs. These are considerably longer than the stock M113 spark plugs and should only be used in the AMG engines specified above. 16 spark plugs only. No other supplies or instructions are included.
Fits 124 201 126 Chassis with M103 engine only, including 190E 260E 300E 300TE 300CE 300SE and 300SEL . These are the current plugs Kent recommends for this 6 cylinder gas engine.
Do not let anyone convince you to install some super platinum, iridium or kryptonite spark plug in your old Benz. They are just not capable of handling the richer fuel mixtures associated with these older engines.
16 spark plugs for the V8. 12 spark plugs for the V6. No wonder they never get changed. I think people freak out about the cost. I am determined to change that mindset.
Only three sets are available. This is one of the better aftermarket wire sets we have seen. Some of the wire lengths may be slightly different from Mercedes' original, but they install just fine with no excessive looping.
FITS THE FOLLOWING: 1985 to 1993 W124, W126, and W201 chassis with a 6 cylinder 103 engine. Is your M103 six cylinder engine not running as smoothly as it use to. These wires should be changed at 70,0000 to 80,000 miles for smooth running and peak performance.
Best plugs for your 102 Engine. Yttrium electrodes out perform platinum especially if your engine is burning oil.
Plugs are one of the most neglected things we see on these old ML320s. Probably because the engine seems to run so well even when they are badly worn like you will see here. This kit is designed for the DIY mechanic. Yes you can do it yourself and save big $$$.
FULL set of 12 new spark plugs for your V6.
Full set of 16 new spark plugs.
In this video instruction Kent will walk you through the steps of how to successfully replace a leaking valve cover gasket on an M104 straight 6 gas engine. Special emphasis will be placed on proper preparation and cleaning, thread inspection and proper torquing sequence.
This kit includes EIGHT correct Bosch spark plugs and a small container of silicone grease to put on the ends of the spark plug wires. This is not a difficult job. In fact, it is one of the easiest spark plug changes you may ever do.
Replacing a distributor cap is easy right. No problem?? If it were I would not get so many emails and why the engine won't run right after changing the cap and rotor. This is a short eight and a half minute video but the tips I share could save you some big headaches.
This kit includes 6 correct Bosch spark plugs for the M272 V6 engine. This is not a difficult job. In fact, it is one of the easiest spark plug changes you may ever do. No need to pay $300 for a shop to replace your spark plugs.
In this 9-minute instructional video, Kent will give you an overview of what is required to change the plugs in your ML320 and share some tips to help you avoid frustration and potential mistakes.
Doing a compression test is one of the best ways to determine the internal health of your gas engine. This is a primary test for doing a physical examination. You want to do this on any old Benz before spending a lot of money to get the engine running right or before restoring your car.
This video will walk you step-by-step through the proper procedures for doing a full compression test on your older V8 Mercedes Engine.
When an old Mercedes ( or any other car for that matter ) has sat idle for over a year it can be a challenge to get it safely back on the road again. If it has sat idle for more than 5 years you may find it difficult to even get the engine running.
New O.E. cap as shown. Alert: These are almost out of production.
This part will fail due to age. It is simple to test with a fuel system pressure tester and easy to install on your fuel rail if you find it has failed.
PLEASE NOTE BEFORE ORDERING. SET OF 8 INJECTORS ONLY.

Fits the following, 201, 124, and 126 chassis with 6 cylinder single cam gas engine. In my opinion, the 103 6 cylinder gas engine (built from 1986 to 1993) is one of the best engines Mercedes has ever built.
We know you want the best for your 560 engine. These ARE the best tune-up parts you can buy. To add new spark plugs see related products below:

This is the FIRST thing you should do on your D-Jet V8 engine. This is true when approaching fixing any older gasoline or diesel engine. If you don't do this, you will be guessing and spending money forever trying to get the engine to run right!
