Must have tool for MB

Well, good for for other cars too..........

Some of our engine hoses use spring type hose clamp.

If M276 3.5 NA



If M276 3.0 TT



The tool is this one : https://www.knipex.com/products/spec...iers/8551250AF
This one no slip and zero sratch on the hose clamp. I am impressed with this plier, even at difficult angle it still works.





.
====================================

Torx E10 but with smallest 1/4" rachet use. I got it locally.
I could not get E12 with smallerst 1/4" rachet locally.

If E10

or and also get a set. E11, dang that is unique size. I am buying !!!!
Amazon Amazon

or
Amazon Amazon



If E12 -- dang I am buying this !!!!
Amazon Amazon

Why a 1/4" rachet use ?
Because E10 and E12 is the most common size for M276 engine and probably for M278 too.
These bolt sizes are all very low torque value and many are located in places where bigger 3/8" rachet or converter 1/4" to 3/8" would be too tight or too long.



=================================

Rear Bumper needs this 12cm deep , regular hex 10mm size. I am buying this too !!!

https://www.ecstuning.com/b-cta-tools-parts/extra-deep-metric-socket-10mm/cta1710~cta/




I wanted to remove my rear bumper and good thing youtube shows I need this 10mm super deep socket.



That's all for now...........

heh, I have a tiny little Knipex Cobra pliers I got on a lark, surprisingly handy little things, but they don't have those metal tips for hose clamps, just toothed jaws for plumbing, etc.

I have the full size Knipex plier too, but without those special clamp teeth, I love it.
Usually I use it to compress my brake pad's piston.

Yes the Knipex is a quality tool and the proper one for certain hose clamp removal.

I have the Knipex hose clamp pliers...great tool for the diyer. Zoro.com has great prices and if you register online they email coupons for 15-20% off sometimes. That's where I purchased mine with a 20% off coupon code.
