Does anyone have a flywheel lock tool for rent/purchase? Kindly allow me to rent your engine #119.975 ('94 E420) Flywheel Lock Tool. I am unable to replace my water pump without it. Any advice?

Buy it and then ebay it when you are finished if you don't think you will use it anymore. They are not that expensive and personally I think it is one of the best tools in my tool box

Uhhh... when I checked on the tool it was like $240.
There are ways to make your own from hardware-store parts. It does not catch the flywheel teeth but uses one of the bolts that attaches the spider to the torque converter. You remove the bolt and screw this tool in its place and it catches the trans housing, thus stopping the rotation of the motor. Let me know if you want more information. Some time ago I wrote up how to do it so it's in the forum here. If you search on 'flywheel lock' you'll find it.

The M103/603 style one is cheap, only about $35.

locking the flywheel
No need for the tool....
Use a high quality socket of the appropriate size, along with an M8 bolt and appropriate washer. Turn the flywheel until you can see the M8 mounting bolts 6-8 total. Remove one bolt, and replace with your M8 bolt with washer and socket. Tie it down tight, and go back to your work...your crankshaft wont turn with the socket up against the flywheel housing.....which is very strong (even enough to torque the crankshaft bolt to 300+ foot pounds.....I know this first hand because I refused to get a flywheel locking tool. Happy wrenching!
