SL 55 Tool Kit?
Well I finally peeked in my tool kit. The manual says there's supposed to be a screwdriver, two open end wrenches, universal pliers but I have none of that. Only fuses, an eye bolt, and a tire change bolt. I asked the dealer and he said there's a difference between American and European cars re the toolkit, and to not worry and just use teleaid anyway.
Well, I'd like to have the proper wrenches but don't know which ones. I think 10 mm is one but not sure. Anybody know? Also any other recommendations for tools appreciated.

From what I remember on the older Benz's there was the reversible screw driver (phillips and flat blade, the adjustable pliers, 3 open end wrenches ( 10mm and 11mm, 12mm and13mm and 15mm and 16mm) fuses and the wheel alignment tool. If you are going to try and outfit one on your own, I would also get a torx screw driver set since torx screws are common on these cars.

Just remove the floor in the trunk. (The second floor that has room for an spare tire.)
Its there under the gastank.
Just lift up the floor, no screws or nothing.
