Last night the belt on the 240 whipped off and the car overheated, about 9:30 pm not far from whunter's house. He put it back on, since I was on my way to a two-day work task and wasn't really dressed t do the job.

I had a box of typical MB tools, which, surprisingly enough, did do the job but not easily.

I have therefore decided to put together a list of specific tools which one would need for working on a 616. Not SPECIAL tools, just specific ones.

For example: a 1/4" drive 13 mm spocket and a joint or 6" wobbly extension ( front PS pump bolts )and a 13mm box wrench (rear PS pump bolts ) are needed to hold and loosen the PS pump bolts easily, so that the alternator can be accessed, replacement alternator + coolant pump belt can be easily installed.

I'm starting to assemble this list just for common specific jobs that make repairs following a bread-down easily and expeditious.

Contributions welcome, then we can possibly make a sticky.

Thanks!
