I have used a lot of different clamping tools over the years to prevent fluids from leaking out when removing coolant, fuel, or brake fluid hoses. Most work ok. Some are hard to use in tight places. Many do not stop every last drip from coming out of the hose. Imagine my excitement a couple years ago when I saw a clamping tool combined with a vise grip like mechanism. I immediate thought - not that is a tool and a half! Sure enough after using it it has proven to be the best I have ever used. And yes, it will stop every drip.... to is super easy to get into tight places and easily clamp and unclamp. The clamp bars swivel are are big enough to work on radiator hoses and strong enough to work on smaller heater and fuel hoses.
Fluid leaks are a very common problem on older cars and it is something you will eventually need to deal with if you plan to own an older Mercedes Benz that you use as a daily driver. They can be coolant leaks, brake fluid leaks, transmission leaks, rear end leaks, fuel system leaks and engine oil leaks. Engine oil leaks are more common on diesel engines because of the high internal crank case pressures. On this page we will review some of the common fluid leaks and direct you to our specialty parts and kits that will help you fix it yourself!
This set of 5 pick tools have very thin and sharp points. The variety of angles available allows you to get into almost anywhere to remove and o-ring, sealing ring or other small part. Comes in protective plastic case.
This is the absolute best gasket maker when you have a clean and tight metal to metal contact. Examples of where you would use this is SEALING the rear differential cover, aluminum oil pan where is mounts to the engine block, etc.
Will not peel off like silicone or RTV and damage internal engine parts. You don't need much and the big tube is quite expensive.

This is the time of year to get with it. From our experience here are the top repair issues that most Mercedes owners have learned to "live with". These problems occur and get worse over time. Many may not even realize how annoying the problem was until it gets fixed - and then WOW! They are exclaiming - Why didn't I do that sooner!!

Works on all models from 1968 to 1995 that just the nylon shift linkage bushings located on the transmission shift arm and the shift control arm. This special tool will allow you to install new bushings in record time. On some 124 and 201 models you would normally have to remove the transmission shift arm due to limited space. But with this tool you can reach up into the transmission tunnel and squeeze the bushing right onto the arm. This is one clever tool. NO INSTRUCTIONS included. To order bushings separately CLICK HERE.
This must-have kit does not only have hard-to-find metric sizing, but the o-rings are made out of nitrile which holds up better to heat and is more resistant to oil, grease, hydraulic fluid, silicone and even water. Kit contains 30 different common METRIC sizes ranging from 2.8 mm ID to 47.7 mm ID.
Just being able to use one or two of these o rings in an emergency to solve a leak or prevent a trip to the hardware store will pay for the kit. Just think of having 382!!!

I have used a LOT of different kinds of grease in my lifetime - but this is my favorite. It has a high molybdenum and graphite content and does not dry out over time. It also has a great resistance to water and moisture deterioration. Just the right consistency - not too thick so it can get into tight places - not too thin so it stays in place.
On the body I use it in door check straps, window gears and mechanisms, seat tracks, door latch assemblies, sunroof cables and gears, hood and trunk hinges and any other metal to metal wear location. On suspension and chassis I use it on wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rods, u-joints, backing plates and more.
This 14 oz can is usually more than enough to service most Mercedes Benz. A must have in your tool box!
