I'm getting ready to pull the injectors out of my 1987 300D. Instead of spending a small fortune on a specialty socket, I'd like to see if I can find a generic one that will serve the purpose.

The only threads I was able to find on this topic were for the earlier models. Do the injectors on my car take a 27mm socket as well? And if so, how deep does it have to be? If someone has a socket that has worked for you, I'd sure appreciate it if you could give me the measurements.

Thanks,
Dan
