I have a 2003 S600 and am ramping up parts and tools to do a spark plug change. I gather from the various posts I have read that using spark plug wire pliers is the surest way to get the ignition packs out without damage. (And making sure to pull them out evenly.)

Baum lists two tools, 103-0037 and B103-0037. The difference seems to be that the 'B' pliers are longer. My question: which would you recommend? Or both?

I already have the various torx head bits and sockets as well as good spark plug sockets. I also have full sets of various extensions and u-joints. Are there any other specialty tools you'd recommend for this job?

Thanks in advance.

 

Baum couldn't tell me the difference in length. So I ordered the longer tool. $25 plus shipping. I'll post an update on how well it works after I do the job this Sunday.
