There was so little interest, that he ended up giving many of them away to friends and indie MB shops in his area. | ||

Yes. It's used to slightly compress the pressure struts in the hinge mechanism so they can be removed from and reinstalled on the mounting pins. Be sure to get the one that is made like the attached diagram. The reverse won't work. Attachments ---------------- Rear_Seat_Tool.pdf (25KB - 32 downloads) | ||

Looks Great. Thanks again. AGuess Have you tried it yet? They can be tricky to use sometimes. I have one of the batch that the fellow in NC made a while back. It required a bit of tweaking to get it to do the job. | ||

They already had the seat's out, so I'll have to wait for them to put them back in. I'll post in a few weeks when I get it back. AGuess | ||

How many names are we up to now? If you're having them made, why not make them like is shown in the MB WIS? I can also tell you from direct first hand experience that you want a little curvature in the short end to help hold the rounded end of the compressed strut in place; and, as the WIS diagram shows, the short end also has side barriers to keep the strut from sliding out to the side. Take a close look at the diagram of the tool in use in the upper right corner of the WIS page to see what I mean. Those little struts are under a lot of pressure, and are difficult to compress without their wanting to slip out of the tool. | ||
