Flywheel Locking Tool for Mercedes-Benz 1.5D 1.6P 2.0P

A flywheel locking tool for Mercedes-Benz engines, used to hold the crankshaft securely during timing and related engine work. It fits in place of the starter motor and locks against the flywheel ring gear, giving a stable hold when accurate positioning matters.

Used for engine servicing, timing work and maintenance on selected Mercedes-Benz A Class, B Class, CLA and GLA models, this tool suits both workshop use and more involved garage repairs. When working on the crankshaft or carrying out jobs where engine timing must be kept in position, a dedicated crankshaft locking tool helps avoid movement and makes the job more controlled.

Fitment is listed for A Class 2013 to 2019, B Class 2012 to 2019, CLA 2013 to 2019 and GLA 2014 to 2020 vehicles with 1.5D 607.XXX, 1.6P 270.XXX and 2.0P 133.XXX or 270.XXX engines. The tool is intended to replace the starter motor temporarily during use so it can engage with the flywheel ring gear correctly. OEM reference 270589004000 is supplied for matching purposes, which helps when checking application before starting work. For regular servicing and timing jobs, using the correct vehicle-specific tool can help keep the work accurate and straightforward.
