Elf BeeInstrument Cluster Removal Pulling Hooks Tool for Mercedes Benz

Facilita el trabajo

I used this to remove a vent on my 2018 GLA. It works perfectly. It is well built and a quality tool mimicking the much more expensive OEM version, but perhaps even better since the handle is more comfortable offering better grip.If you are attempting to use it, follow the same instructions as those for the OEM tool (which has the same faults): Make sure you hook it in the right place, tug hard. real hard, make sure you use two hands to steady the unit so it does not fly away and make sure you put your finger on top of the tool in the vent so it does not unseat and scratch the inside of the vent.Why Mercedes could not figure out a better process is beyond imagining, but this tool gets the job done at a good price.Bonus -- I now have two of them.... I'll probably never need either again :)

Works well enough. However, although two two are included don’t be tempted in insert two at the same time. Because of the tight clearance between the dash and the instrument cluster, inserting two at the same time can cause pressure against one of the top shafts causing a crack or break in the instrument cluster lens. Pull out one side at the time until it clears the dash.

Pretty terrible. These hooks are not bent properly to serve their purpose. Benz factory hooks are vent slightly past 90' so the hook doesnt slip off the item you are attempting to pull free. Do yourself a favor and purchase the factory tool to avoid harm to yourself or the part you are trying to remove.

These are 'almost' essential in my opinion. Yes... you can make them, but the time spent isn't worth the hassle. Especially if you don't know the exact dimensions. These tools are perfectly made: correct length and the handles make it so easy. Less than 20 seconds to release the cluster.
