Broken Cam

Thanks, everyone, for the good suggestions.

If I decide...

I pulled the filter apart when the problem occurred to check if I had left the old O-ring in there, and noted that both centershaft O-rings look OK. They are a year old or less.

Is this "fat needle" a standard item on the odd tools rack at a part store (KD, Lisle, etc), or a MB dealer item?
