Digital torque adaptor or Torque wrench

I had no centring pin with my SL and ended up buying a pair off eBay, using one is good but using two operator each other is a lot easier

Would this work for C 300 W205 Mercedes Wheel Change Locating Dowel Pin M14 x 1.5 mm A2045810074 New Genuine 7625723469854 | eBay

That would work but there are cheaper ones out there

Pardon our interruption...

How do I find out my bolt size eg M14, like I assume it is that size, but doesn’t say anywhere even on manual! Very frustrating some of this isn’t easy to be found.

Makes sense to me, but does it fit W205 and my car

Looks like it will , take the jack out of the boot and measure the white nylon part , seem my jack , photo post # 36. thats the bit that goes up into the slot on the sill.

Sadly I don’t have any wheel kit or jack in boot, I’ve bought the jack puck & wheel Alignment pins recommended will try and see if they fit


“EDIT” I spoke to soon seller said those jack pucks don’t fit W205, only one I can see on eBay is very pricey

Pardon our interruption...

Thanks a lot guys!

Another company not showing the dimensions on their adverts (probably so they don't get copied) not much different to the rubber ones we have seen on this thread. A bit pricey , maybe . but cheaper than having a sill repair welded of the car slipping off the jack , and PowerFlex are a well known company.

My guess is (after measuring) the rubber ones could be purchased and cut to size if req.

I bought these, they fit and seem substantial. Used them numerous times so far.

Thanks, is that on a W205 model? Might check them out!

UPDATE

I ended up going for Sealey Jack Adaptor Kit, Mercedes told me they don’t sell one officially themselves.

Jacking Pad Set Mercedes-Benz | JP24 | Sealey

1 Year Guarantee - Designed for the jacking points to protect and prevent damage to jacking points, side skirts and the underside of the vehicle.

Sealey advised it fits and will work with my car & Halfords trolley.

Now I have some photos to pick all your brains as I’m unsure if it looks okay or not!

It doesn’t fit plush within the Halfords Jack (hopefully photos show enough perspective) but I assume with the force it’ll keep it snug, please advise!

Similar point the the Sealey Jack adaptor, it’s not snug within the jacking point, but it does fit none the less?

I’d also like to ask the forum, Axle stands, where do I place them, do I need them for changing wheel / cleaning wheels & is this one suitable

Sealey VS2003 Axle Stand, 3 Tonne Capacity per Stand, 2 Pieces https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B085GYTTDB?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_EQEDTQ6X0PK59RWHP38F

With regard to the hydraulic trolley, I decided to return Halfords one and changed to Halfords advanced wider saddle / Halfords Advanced 3T Low Profile Trolley Jack with Pad | Halfords UK

So after all this I’ve finally figured and got it working myself!

So anyone that wants to know what bits I used to lift W205 C300

Mercedes gave hardly any flexibility / mostly plastic under body and few jacking axle points, I used the arms by wheels to axle jack & the Jack adaptor that Mercedes don’t even sell

Hope this helps as not a single YouTube video shows W205 lifting!
