Tool/part# needed, Torx Flex Socket

I know there are at least a couple of techs out here... I am in the midst of doing the balance shaft replacement (thread & pictures to come) & am in need of a source or part number for the special tool Mercedes Benz uses to access the 4 bolts under the cam gears for the timing chain cover. Thanks in advance!

You must be confused, there are no special tools recommended for the timing case cover removal----see repair doc AR0140P8000QB

For the M272/273 engine, there is. It is used for the bolts under the cam gears at the top of the cover.

In any case I may have found something I can use from Snap-On.
