From 98 to 2004 the LH class uses a newer motor then the older 93-97 models. This tool still works and works great for swapping timing belts, keeping the motor in TDC, keeps cams lined up for head rebuilds and also able to remove the timing sprockets. The price is a bit much but it's cheaper to buy this tool then having to end up rebuilding a head from a bent valve.

This is a LOT easier than trying to line up each tooth on the timing belt! Just put this in place to hold the CAM and stick the new timing belt on any old way that it fits. The timing will be perfect. This is by far the easiest timing belt that I have ever done.

1999 300M motor was missing and surging. Ran rough. The timing belt had been replaced. Ran well for a while then started missing and surging. Reset the timing belt with the proper tools, which fit exactly right. Turned out the problem was defective spark plugs which had been installed at the same time. After the replacement, the 3.5l motor ran strong.
