We made our own. Got a 46mm standard socket from Northern tools for like $9, then used a HAND SAW to cut it flat like the MB socket. That was some HARD work. Works great though. Did all that only to find out that the tank strainer I was taking out was perfectly clean.

Cheaper eazyer mod is get a 3/4 to 1/2 drive adpter
they come in a 3 pack with a 1/2 to 3/8 and a 3/8 to 1/4 for 4 bucks
then grind the flats up on to the round part [file if you like wasting time]
then the same 3/4 or 19mm wrench that you need for the smaller hose fitting
can also turn your 46mm socket and fit under the axle

btw that is a chit design putting the tank fitting right on top of the axle
wrong in two ways first it is a son of a beach to get at then it drain and drips
right on the axle boot
MB should have move the sucker over a a inch or three both to get a ratchet
in there and NOT DRAIN ON THE AXLE BOOT
