This is not an April Fool's bit. The March/April issue of The Star had a nice article about replacing the front shocks on a W210. I want to do this and ordered up the M-B tool part specified which is a sparkplug socket (part # 123 581 00 67). I got it thru my dealer as none of our fine sponsors stocked it. However the one I got has the 16mm socket end, not the 17mm end required. It was pointed out in the article that there are two flavors of this. tool. How can that be if there is only one part number?

Anyway, does anybody know where I can get the one with the 17mm socket? The article says these are sometimes included in the tool kits in the cars. My 1997 gasoline care has no such item in its kit. Thanks.
