M256 rotate crank pulley
I'm planning to do a transmission fluid change on 2020 GLS450 and to drain the fluid from the torque converter I need to rotate the engine. Is there a third-party tool or some trick to rotate the engine to get access to the torque converter drain plug? The original MB tool is around $270.

I've been frustrated by the high cost of the original MB tool, so I decided to design and fabricate a more affordable version.
This tool is essential for properly changing the transmission fluid, as it allows you to drain the fluid from the torque converter.
It’s also handy if you need to manually spin the engine for any reason.
I've made some improvements over the original, such as stronger magnets to keep it securely in place. Plus, you can use a regular 1/2-inch ratchet with my tool. It's available on eBay and Amazon.

I don't know that I'd ever use this, but I love the ingenuity! Great work!
