Spark plug boot puller.

I am wondering what style (brand) of boot puller is best for use on our cars? I tried with pliers but ended up slightly pinching the metal boot.

Any one will work. MB has a special tool that is great, or buy one from Sears.

I just changed the spark plugs on my M117 two days ago.

M112/M113 a 17mm wrench will work pretty well

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. $58.85

Car idles perfect now.
