Looking to source M113K crankshaft pulley/harmonic balancer tool
I've got a CL55 AMG that I've just shredded the crankshaft pulley that turns the supercharger. Fortunately, I didn't damage anything else. I had no idea that this damage was even possible, but I digress...
Stupidly, I ordered a tool from KC Auto that was advertised as fitting m112/m113 engines, but the same advertisement failed to mention that it didn't fit the M113K. Today, when the tool arrived I made the discovery myself. The replacement bolt, pulleys and harmonic balancer are in my possession, but as of the moment I'm drafting this, I can't find the pulley tool I need in order to remove the old parts and install the new.
So, I'm stuck.
Does anyone know the part number for the crankshaft pulley tool or a source for purchasing the tool that will fit the M113K?
I've searched the forums and have been unable to find any advice on this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A good friend of mine bought one advertised similarly, and he just ended up modifying it to interface with the m113k pulley. Used it to replace my pulley... Not really sure where to source one for the m113k, but I imagine the e55 AMG guys have found a source for the proper tool... Might check their section.
You'll need a massive amount of torque to break the bolt free, by the way. Ended up using a 3/4 to 1" to 3/4 adapter stack attached to a huge breaker bar and pipe to loosen.
Best of luck (and buy a crankshaft pulley seal to put in when you take the pulley off)!
