Hello,

I have an auto trannt out of car and a manual in a car. The yolk on the manual is shot. Sadly one of the links in this thread no longer works. Hoping someone can steer me in the right direction.

I think the main message of this thread is that tool junkies like these sockets but as you can't get the slotted nuts any more - that the new nuts are 12 point 30mm ones - you are best off not bothering with it.

Don't leave that there - I'll take it to bits!

Good luck trying to chisel that nut off. I used the 4 prong tool and it's a very robust tool, well made. It's one of those tools which is a lifesaver, but probably only used a few times. A definite tool to have if you're a lifer with these cars.

Hello.

I am hoping someone would be interested in loaning me this yolk tool or directing me to a place I can purchase one.

I should add, the Manual transmission is still in the car and I couldn't imagine attempting to chisel this nut out in this manner.

There is a point missed.
Not everyone has a 30mm 12 point socket. So you could still end up buying a Tool.

The pic is of a Lot of Tools I bought on eBay about 4 Years ago. Apparently I have 3 of the Pin Sockets. However, they were made by KD Tool and don't have the Mercedes Part Number on them so I could never figure out what they were specifucally used for and I have not needed to remove any slotted Nuts so far.

Also I thought I read some where that the Manual Transmission also uses simliar Pin Sockets inside of it somewhare.

Thank you for all the input. One member offered to loan me his slotted socket. I will now attempt to order from the local dealer. I have ordered the flex disk set from an online source and will replace the rear one soon after I get her running again.

Thank you for all the help.

I have completed this repair, then drove the car 700 miles within 2 days without an issue. May I also add all 700 miles were on WVO!

I could not have imagined completing this without the 4-prong tool.
In the need to remove the yoke off the out-of-car A/T, we ended up strapping it to my 4-wheeler's bars, just working with it on the floor (or with my neighbor standing on it) did not allow it to come off. We found those methods only led to turning the entire transmission!

Pictures of the damaged flex disc as well as the destroyed yoke and bolts will be posted soon.

Thank you again for helping me get my 240D back on the road!

Just glad I didn't hurt anyone or myself. CHECK YOUR FLEX DISCs.

Old thread, does anyone have this tool to rent? Correct part number is 115589080700. Or something comparable to remove this nut? This is the original and does not have the nice 12 point.
