yes, the third has a little bench thing on it... because you only have two hands... so that holds it in place....
many people do not need that wrench... it is ONLY if your adjustment nuts are stuck that you need that one to hold the VALVE... since they are screwed onto the actual valve.. When I did my first valve adjustment three were stuck... so I had to do what I could...put it all back together, drive to the MB dealer , take it apart again... and fix those three....

vacuum booster lines? There are four lines comming out of the master cylinder, which is connected to the brake booster. These are maintenance free because their just metal. The brake booster vacuum line (1) gives vacuum from the engine to the brake booster. Dont worry about it. As for the valve adjustment, don't get yourself that deep. Not to sound harsh or anything, but you didn't even know what brake rotors are, there is no way your going to be able to take the valve cover off and adjust valves. if you want to do it yourself wait until your more experienced, its a little advanced at this point

Ok I'll just buy those two and give it my best. I plan to change my valve gasket when I do the adjustment. Anything else to do while in there whilst my cover is off? And one last damn thing again. If the hoses on the break look bad and I want to replace...is it break vacuum lines or break hoses..And then I'll let you people do what I need to do...Sleep. I have to go be a waiter at a restaurant for 12 damned hours....Thanks again!

Brake hoses are very different from vacuum hoses...
brake hoses will have metal ends on them to attach to the metal lines of the car.... I hope you don't need that third wrench... good night and good luck..

No I understand your warning and I take no offense. I have repaired all my vehicles I've ever had because I'm cheap and I enjoy the work. I always ask a million questions and I do it...Always with success. Sometimes I get myself in a bind but it always works out. Doing the adjustment based on the dieselgiant website makes it look not so bad. And I plan to do do it in my friends shop. He won't let me screw things up too bad but I'm gonna do it myself anyway. Thanks and goodnight....

Rama, you are developing this very annoying habit of creating 2 posts {or more
 } one minute apart. My suggestion: Just keep typing inside the same box for another minute. Your thread gets unnecessarily extended moving pertinent info to another page.I'm just saying.......... **Fyi, when you provide links to auctions you often end up bidding against folks who wouldn't have known about the auction had you not provided the link. Just something to think about.....
