Rear End Plugs Removal

I went to do the Rear End fluid replacement on my CLS55 and could NOT find a 14mm allen key at any stores.

It was suggested that I could order the right socket type allen key, but it might be a week to get it. Being impatient and having called everyone I know, I improvised with a $ 0.87 simple solution.

I bought a Coupler nut that was 14mm (outside diameter) and put in in my 14mm socket and was able to easily access and r&r the plugs.

I hope this might help someone else out.

I welded a nut on a short bolt once. I like your solution better.
