I seen 3 show up on eBay with in the same Year but not single; always with other Tools.
I think it is expensive partly because part of it is left hand treaded or there is a Ball and Socket on one part.
I have a picture of the whole Tool Some where but all I could find is the one in the pictrue which is 1/2 of the complete tool.
The Heat Bolts fit in to the Holes and not shown there is a Clamp that clamps to the front of the Fuel Injection Pump and attaches to that slotted end to the Right of the Pic.
Either on our Forum or on Benzworked one of the Member made something that functioned the same.
When you move the Fuel Injection Pump it may be possible to tear the Gasket. If you plan to run Engine with the IP loose and use the Tool to rotate it that increases the chance of the Gasket tearing.
