Timing Chain Tensioner Plug installation
Hello Everyone!

I have a really ridiculous problem. I fixed the timing chain etc. Now I can not figure out how to put a new expansion plug in. Whenever I try it, it goes in wrong. It is not flush to the hole. I ordered now 6 (2 of each different manufacturer) to fix this.. is there any trick to press the plug in?

thanks in advance

PS: 2012 C250, M271 EVO, 155k miles

Did anyone have any tricks? Had to pull mine out again... not straight, leaking oil.
