Secondary Furel Filter Wrench
Uh , oh ~
When I finally dig it out it'll prolly turn up to be some oddball Hazet wrench.... The car with it is elsewhere as the heater died so I'm driving the '84 300TD and have the driver's door apart ~ it looks like the door checks are fairly simple to service . I have to work diligently on the Wagon as it's SWMBO's daily driver . |
Ha!
Got it! I've finally thought of something really useful that should always be in your car http://media.robertdyas.co.uk/media/...4/148860_1.jpg |

Edit: Looking at the pic again I notice there is a taper. Is is just a "lug bolt" with a long handle? If so, I don't see the point of this tool whatsoever. |

I measured the secondary filter bolt = 24 mm on mine which is the -02 filter housing (I think the -01 housings has a different size bolt). I have a 24 mm wrench but it is 18" long! So I scrounged up a short handle adjustable wrench that opens more than 24 mm which fits in the tool pouch. |

It really makes it a bit easier to install a wheel. Screw the tool in one of the Lug Bolt holes, turn Rotor so it is at the top. Place wheel on the tool, and push it onto the Rotor. Then just screw in the bolts. Be sure to remove tool and replace it with a Lug Bolt. (you knew that...right?) It helps from fighting the wheel and Rotor trying to get the holes lined up. Every once in a great while will I see one in the trunk in the yards. Guess people throw them away not knowing what they are. Think BMW has this tool also. I have the tool, then forget to use it. :o Charlie |
Spare Wheel Alignment Pin / Tool
Yes ;
I really is a handy tool once you actually need it . Road side changing a flat tire is different than doing it in the shop when you have dirty clothes and shop shoes on ~ in the shop I use the toe of my shoe to raise the wheel up and hold it whilst I lne up a lug bolt . Those very few occasions I have a flat tire I'm always well dressed and don't like scuffing the tips of my polished shoes... It speeds things up too . |

Brilliant! I'll have to give it a try. |
Over the years, this tool has migrated from "seldom used" to "always use".
As a 75 y.o., still capable of doing a few things on my Mercedes, I find it useful. Don |
