ianwh4 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago The proper part number is A0009905407, and they cost roughly £9.50 apiece from MB. I've chosen to replace the full set after getting another wheel stud caught. Unlike the typical hexagon, these are star shaped. Due to past overtightening, the majority of the present studs have chewed heads. Would you recommend Febi, from whom I may obtain identical studs? Febi engine mounts are horrible; the one I used before lasted all of forty kilometres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberNinja Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Discard the locking wheel bolts and replace them with regular bolts if that is what you mean. In fact, there might be a plastic container containing a set of four in your vehicle; during the pre-delivery check, the providing dealer will remove them and replace them with the locking ones. Wheel theft has been eradicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianwh4 Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago No, I just placed an order for brand new locking nuts—the kind with the chrome caps—for my studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMG33D Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago They are bolts, not studs, therefore pedantry mode is on. Mercedes often prefers to employ the far more finicky method of bolts, however these are the studs that wheel nuts go into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianwh4 Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago I apologise, but I'm mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyskin Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Standard 17mm sockets, especially older ones, might damage the "flower" heads of those lug bolts. We have specialised sockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianwh4 Posted 59 minutes ago Author Share Posted 59 minutes ago Very much appreciated; I've already placed an order for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
