You can rent it from:
http://www.mercedesshop.com/diy/mb_tools/mb_tools.html
No need to buy it. And there are probably other places to rent it from. At
one time I believe there was a list member who loaned it out.
Once you get comfortable with the diesel you'll love it like we do - it's an
amazing engine - long lasting and hard working. You're becoming familar
with your engine in the best possible way - slowly and carefully.
Just go slow and ask questions when you don't understand or are not
absolutely sure about how to proceed. Also, the diesel in inherently
different from the gas engines you're used to and some thing are vastly
different.
Good luck - keep us informed --

Subject: Re: [MBZ] 300td timing chain issues
So, Look slike I would do this if I had access to the
tool.... The tool is like 189.00 and the timiming
chain is only 63.00 so geee. can't justify buying
the tool..
If, it's like an old bike chain, no problem, but it
looks like this big double chain may be a bit more and
need the tool? ANyone know where to dig one up in
Seattle?
Also, So... I swap this chain out and that re-synchs
the timeing, a quick valve clearence set and all is
well withthe engine? (seems strangly simple....)
These desiels are so much different then the gassers I
had before (this is my first deseil)...

It forces the stud material over in a brad-like

without the special tool but the engine was
completely disassembled during
the rebuild and I was able to put the chain in a
vise where I could work on
it. Then, I put the complete circular chain in
place. I tried to get my
wife to take the chain to the dealer and pay them to
use the special tool to
brad the connnecting link over - didn't work - even
though she explained it
was needed for a *completely disassembled* engine
they refused saying it was
supposed to be installed *then* the connecting link
was to be assembled. Oh
well, I found a way in spite of them. ;-)
