I use the Cloned tool and it works very well. On a w126 you do not have to alter the shock mount hole. However on the W123 you will. looking down inside the shock mount hole, there is a inner piece of sheet metal that has be filed back by a small amount. then the tool will fit into the hole. It really isn`t that big a deal.

I started by using a 1/2 round file, then went to using the electric drill and a bit that was like a file.

It really isn`t going to alter the integrity of the car. When it come to altering the tool....AHHHH....NO.

After wards, treat the bare metal with POR.
