Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: After each use, clean the sockets and adapter to remove any dirt, grease, or debris. Use a clean cloth and a mild degreaser if necessary.
• Drying: Ensure all components are thoroughly dry before storage to prevent rust.
• Storage: Store the kit in its original plastic case in a dry, cool place to protect the tools from damage and corrosion.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the tools for any signs of wear, damage, or deformation. Replace any damaged components immediately to ensure safe and effective operation.

Troubleshooting

• Socket Does Not Fit:
  • Ensure you have selected the correct spline socket by carefully matching its pattern to the wheel lock nut.
  • Verify the kit's compatibility with your specific Mercedes-Benz model and year.
• Difficulty Loosening Wheel Lock:
  • Ensure the socket is fully seated and gripping the wheel lock securely.
  • Apply firm, steady pressure when turning.
  • Important: Avoid using excessive torque, as this can damage the key or the wheel lock. It is recommended to use a tire booster wrench with torque ≤150 N·m.
