Axle Bolt! ETORX!

Hey!

Does anybody know what size etorx the axle bolt head is on a C350 4matic from 2010??

I was disappointed to realize there was a tool I didn't have ...

EPC says it's an M16x60 bolt.

BOLT
PROPELLER SHAFT TO FLANGE M16X60
I guess that'd make it an E16 socket? Not sure how the naming convention goes

Thanks Funk, but unfortunately that is not the case.

I've also looked at the EPC.

M16 would normally be an E20 socket, although I've got E20's as well but they are not large enough.

It's quite odd, I'm hoping it's not proprietary!
I got the SnapOn truck coming to the house when I get off work, but I'm not sure he has anything bigger than an E22 either..

Plus I don't wanna pay for a $320 set just to get a single socket.



It's def bigger than E20 though, like I said, I've got an E22 which is too small.

Odd that an M16 bolt wouldn't be an E20

Agreed!!! I didn't even mention that the dealer put my rims on with an impact wrench and ruined them..... hahahaha oh my.... gotta pick my battles I guess though.


For whoever reads this years from now needing to know the same thing, the answer is E24!!!

The Front Axle Stud (from axle to hub) is E24 size!

A lot!

I will post a thread soon about it, but it's the following:

- Replace front Passenger side inner CV boot
- Complete suspension all around.
(Dealer originally said I just had to replace a spring, when I took out the shock absorber the bearing was gone too.
- Diagnose and repair/replace the issue with keyless go not working
- New key fob (lost the spare, not really a repair or necessary at all, haha.)

It ended up being a lot more than 4k

Suspension alone was about 4k Canadian.

I just finished the CV boot. Gotta install the shaft now. I will post a DIY when I have all the pics and everything sorted.

Can't wait to try out my new Flatout Suspension though!!!
