are you looking for the big center bolt or the little bolts on the pully. i tried looking it up for your car, and i came up with the center bolt being M18 and the smaller ones being M8. do you need their torque values?

 

Thanks liquid. I just want to turn the crank - is it 27mm?

 

FWIW, on a 99 C230K you need a 27 mm socket. I am pretty sure the 280 is the same. That is what I used when turning the engine to access the torque converter drain plug.

 

Thanks. I couldn't find mine to check. I think you are right. Michael

 

I'm going to be servicing my Trans. shortly after I get paid. I was wondering the Crank bolt is the bolt right in front of the fan correct ??

I have no Idea where it is located or Where to look for the Torque converter drain plug

Any advice is appreciated thx

 

Do a search of the archives here. There is DIY and/or a link to a DIY with pictures that will help you locate things.

 

Hello everyone, I change the main crankshaft oil seal and would like to know if this 18mm bolt is reusable and what torque should I tighten it. Thanks for your replies guys.
