Hi good folks,

Need to do the front crank seal this weekend. Looking at various cheap tools to lock the flywheel which will in likely hood only get a single use.

The ebay suppliers cannot (or haven't replied) guarantee fitment for the OM606 although below listing does state M606 - not sure if that counts?

Mercedes recommended tools.

The tool is pretty universal in mercedes. the one with numbers starting with 601 is the one to use.

The above link looks to include both tools for starter removal or using window at bell housing bottom.

If neither fit I could probably make one that does the job using trusty angle grinder, failing that this link has a starter only tool.\

(bit cheaper but looks stronger)

Thanks, do you think the one listed would fit?

This kit is the one recommended by Laser tools, looks similar but 5 x price.
