DO NOT ORDER UNTIL YOU REMOVE ONE INJECTOR IN YOUR ENGINE AND INSPECT THE HOLE. Sometime in 1974, Mercedes changed the way these injectors were sealed into the head to prevent air leaks. A "YELLOWISH" nylon sleeve was added along with two seals on the lower end of the fuel injector.

This is the bolt that goes into the motor mount arm from underneath the car. It is easy to round one of these out when removing. This is a good used bolt with a good undamaged head. You are buying just one bolt. If you need two change the quantity in the shopping cart if you need two bolts.

This kit will allow you to replace the critical worn parts inside the early 603 U.S. made Garrett T3 turbochargers. This kit will not work if your engine has a KKK turbo made in Germany. The only way to tell which turbo you have is by visual inspection.
Many tool sets do not even have a 16mm or 18mm combination wrench, let alone ones that have a ratcheting box end. Mercedes never used 16mm or 18mm fasteners up until the late 1990's. Now they are everywhere - especially under the car.

This is one of the most often neglected services I see on the M272 engine. Even at 100,000 miles, you often see the tank has never been changed, and you can recognize that by looking to see if there is a factory crimp hose clamp still in place on the fluid return hose at the bottom of the tank.
In wood box. Excellent conditon. Great for checking rotors and other spinning parts for running true. KBTOOLS

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.
Fits all V6 engines from 1998 to 2005. Outstanding quality. Consider changine these when you replace the plugs. Special pricing on limited stock.

We modify this wrench right here in our shop. If a picture is worth a thousand words, what is a video work. Watch the following for a full explanation.
This universal 13/16-inch spark plug socket comes with 14-inch and 3-inch extensions. On some V8s, you have very limited room to get to the rear sparkplugs. You can use the short extension. You can use the long extension for quicker access to the ratchet wrench out in the open.

This is a perfect fit for the O.E. copper sealing ring. You only need one but we sell these as a set of two so you will have a spare.

These are the 4 long bolts that need to be removed when changing your W126 brake rod control joint on your front suspension. There are two on each side. They do not come in the repair kit so if you bolts are very rusty you might want to have these new bolts on hand before you start your repair.
Kent finally went to work to solve the problem of rusty water pump mounting bolts. Once the problem was studied carefully the solution became obvious. Watch the video for a full explanation and partial instructions below.

I do not need to say much about this tool. Well made and well thought out. Someone who obviously was frustrated at scratching the finish on his or her alloy wheels came up with this idea. Watch the video below to see why this is now my favorite go it 17 mm lug bolt socket.
This is something many owner's and mechanics miss. That little check valve on the side of the injection pump can cause a lot of starting problems on the older diesels.
Many owners are surprised to learn that their early ML's hood can actually be adjusted to go almost straight up. It is not as easy to do as some of the earlier models where you only had to flip a couple levers.
