I know I originally bought that Autozone set a few years back specifically to put Red Line in my 4000 Quattro's center diff/tranny (they share fluid), and I think I had to use the 17mm.

Re: [MBZ] Where can a guy find a hex key?
Sounds like monkeys have been in there. Ugh! Note: a 3/8" will be too small and will round out the bolts. Whenever I come across a rounded out starter bolt I hammer in a 12mm triple-square head and have had good luck getting them to crack loose. Should this be the case, replace the bolts. It is possible someone replaced the hardware with non-original bolts, so then all bets are off, just find what fits. Factory is 10mm.

Re: [MBZ] Where can a guy find a hex key?
Use a very long extension with a universal plus the 10mm hex socket to remove the starter bolts. Ensure the hex heads are free of dirt and debris with a pick so that you don't round out the head.

Re: [MBZ] Where can a guy find a hex key?
I replaced the starter on my '81 300D about 2 years ago, and it wasn't too hard. You will need a 1/2-inch drive hex bit socket and an allen wrench of the same size. I think it was 14mm, but I am not sure. You will also need a couple of long (12-inch) 1/2-inch drive extensions, a universal, and a ratchet. To get to one of the bolts, you need to come over the tailpipe hanger bracket (from the transmission) with the two extensions. My bolts were really corroded and hard to break loose, I recommend that you douse them with PBBlaster and let them sit for a day before you try breaking them loose. Anything smaller than 1/2-inch drive is likely to break. I broke one universal doing my starter. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Zoltan Finks Sent: Monday, April 17, 2006 12:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [MBZ] Where can a guy find a hex key?

Re: [MBZ] Where can a guy find a hex key?
I bought mine at AutoZone. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Zoltan Finks Sent: Monday, April 17, 2006 12:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [MBZ] Where can a guy find a hex key? This is nuts. All I need is one hex key to change out my starter (83 240D) and all sets that I can find in stores only go up to 10mm. We don't have Harbor Freight around here, but we have Northern Tool. No luck. Same deal at Sears. And they all come in sets, not individual. Do I have to chase down a tool truck and pull it over? Is it a 13 mm?
