Also make plans a head of time for a ride to work in case one or more break off.
Thats only an issue with the OM606 turbo and non turbo series since they use a long glow plug which has a track record of getting stuck.



For removing the injection line from the injector a standard wrench will work for you if you do not want to front the cash for a crows foot or have hydraulic line wrenches which can also work
