For swapping tailshaft housing on an '83 300sd transmission.

Can anyone confirm the part number from SIR Tools?

They list one online as BMW 3025 but their tech guy told me on the phone that he is "pretty sure" it's the required one. He says it measures 66 mm (about 3 inches) in the actual socket section.

The only socket they actually list for Mercedes TS removal is listed as for 190 series only and is significantly less deep.

Also if anyone has one for sale/rent, drop me a PM please....

Thanks.

I just bought a deep 30mm 12 point socket =>

any old socket

any any any old socket (will do!)

You do need a deep one though - I have an unused shallow 12 point 30mm socket for sale if anyone wants one...
