Tool required for Poly-V-belt change?
 

My belt is here! Finally! whheeeee...

I went and eye-balled the nut at the end of the of the shaft holding the belt tensioner (1998 C230 aspro M111 four cylinder) and it looks to be a funky torx-type thing I don't have in my tool box.

Before I go ignorant to the tool store, does anyone know the type/size I need?

Thanks!!

blackmercees, external looking torx? That's actually what they are called, sizes are the same :)

xp

I'll look for that...

Thanks!

ON MY e420 IT IS A TORX BIT SIZE e10. sears have torx set for 20$ and one of it will fit on your car.

For C230 owners, we also have the E-10 size Torx. Thanks all! Will do the job this weekend, time allowing, now that I have all the bits required.

One benefit of the four banger? No need to take anything off, tons of room to work in there!!
