I thought that I bought mine from Rusty, I think the price was about $40. Somehow I managed to order two, sorry but I already sold the spare. I justified the price when my indie charged me $70 to replace one leaking DV O-ring. If Rusty can't get it, recommend your dealer's parts counter. It is a very odd serrated socket, not 12pt but more like 30 pt, only the real deal will work.

Rusty doesn't have the special socket - he suggested Assenbachertool but the only one I saw there was a 22mm MB Injector tool - it looks like a hex socket - my memory of the DVs is it having a bunch of teeth around it so a matching socket would be needed. The car is not here so I can't go look - Any idea where I might find/rent this socket? Is it a 22mm socket? ($33 above) Thanks! Larry Does your business accept or need to accept V/MC/AE/Dis?
