2014 glk 350 time for first tire rotation HELP

Hello all,

I have read the forum and can't find the dyi for this process. (preferably a list of tools.) I would like to do the rotation myself. But when i went out to look at the rims i noticed the "flower" pattern lugs.

This is closest thread i could find about the lugs. https://mbworld.org/forums/s-class-w...50-wheels.html Is it just a 17mm or not?

I called one of the 4 local houston mb dealers and they said the guys use snap on tools and that there was no "special" tool for me to buy.

I would like to 1. prevent wheel damage. 2. Lug damage if possible i know they are caps

UPDATE

I ended up buying a thin wall 17mm with protective plastice sleeve.

Discount tire did the rotation without damage. They were willing to use the socket i purchased online.

If i had to do it again i would remove the center caps myself. Two solutions credit to the youtube folks.

Not the coolest way to introduce yourself to the membership.

You might want to consider being a bit more polite and respectful to other members if you want to enjoy your experience here.
