Herr Doktor's swivel socket is another good option. I don't own any
swivel sockets, so I never thought of that one.

A 6mm allen 1/4 inch drive socket would fit. a short 6mm allen 3/8
drive won't fit. I'd still opt for snap-on for the 1/4 inch drive
because of the torque put on it. 2 of mine came apart ok, but one I
put about 80 ft-lb on and twisted the allen close to 30 degrees but
the bolt did not budge.

I use a piece of 6mm Allen wrench about an inch long that I cut off
the long end, with a 6mm 1/4 inch drive socket and a u-joint. Non were
so tight that I needed the hammer-driven impact wrench. Mine were on
the 603 and 602 engines, so YMMV.
I also vote for changing them all at once - in and out o

I'm salivating already; timing?
Also, anything else that you need that I might have?

Taking off the intake manifold and Inj. lines makes changing the GPs
easier. You will need a new gasket. I'd suggest ordering a 6" long
6mm balldriver allen socket from Snap-on. Otherwise, the manifold
removal is as hard as changing the GPs with the manifold on. Snap-on

I have a spare 190D 2.2 intake gasket (new) from my last foray into engine
repair. yours if you want it.
