Oil Filter - Modified Wrench

REF. NO. 18/39

TO: OUR MERCEDES-BENZ PASSENGER CAR DEALERS

DATE: OCTOBER 1989

SUBJECT:
MODIFIED OIL FILTER WRENCH





The previously used oil filter wrench for removing and installing spin-on filters could slip when attempting to loosen extremely tight oil filter cartridges. To aid in removal, the side area of the modified socket is provided with threaded bores for two hex. head screws which may be tightened against the oil filter cartridge. The socket is thereby clamped against the cartridge preventing any slippage, allowing even the tightest cartridge to be removed.

The top of the socket is provided with 2 additional bores for storing the hex. head screws when not being used.
