HOT deal on Magnecor wires!
I just ordered my new Magnecor spark plug wires 2 days ago (8.5mm Magnecor part #85240 for E55) for really cheap! I mean I researched the crap out of these and they're going for $251 bucks plus shipping everywhere including Magnecor's website. I found a site called Alamo Motorsports where I ordered them for $170.02 shipped. Here is the site's link to the wires: http://www.alamomotorsports.com/Magn..._mercedes.html

Why
did you need new wires?If not abused or set on fire they last for a long long time.

I went to pull one of the wires off to look at the plugs and I think I broke it, lol. Well, it's not that funny for my wallet but I'm changing my plugs so might as well change the wires too!
By the way guys, my wires just arrived drop-shipped directly from Magnecor so this deal is even better now!

They
will do that sometimes.Do you have the offset 17mm plug tool or a long 5/8 open end to pry gently with leverage against the head and gently pop off the metal boot off the plug?Also leave the wires on the coil end alone just remove the spark plug end.

Kent
has stock in mb or worked for them,so you need to weigh in his slant.
In this case he is probably correct though,so just hang onto your old wires (carefully taken off of course)and if the new ones misfire,act up,throw 0300 range codes,send em back and just pick up one wire from a benz wrecking yard to replace the oops one.

Mercedes now lists this tool as the offical tool to aid in the removal of the spark plug connectors on the newer M112 and M113, V-6 and V-8 engines. You pry against the connector and the valve cover with it. It makes a knuckle busting job quite easy.
plus you can use it in the tight space to make sure you pop the metal boot back onto the plug! FAR EASIER THEN THOSE CROOKED SHAPED PLIERS.
or like I said a long 5/8 in a pinch.
