Wheel alignment bolt tool??
Are we supposed to have a wheel alignment bolt tool (wheel hanger tool) in our roadside kit? It would seem to be pretty much needed but I can not seem to find one. Guess we are just supposed to call Roadside Assistance....or grow an extra arm or two.

Valmomo69,
I have one in my kit. It looks like an aluminum ballpoint pen. It is threaded on one end to allow it to be screwed into the hub.
I shudder to think what MB charges for a new one.

Depends on what year your R class is. They stopped including the tool in the 2008 and up models for some unknown reason. I made mention of this on another thread, I took mine out of my 07 ML before I traded it in because I noticed the new ones weren't coming with it.
