Correct. I jack up the front under the cross member, then the rear under the
diff. I can't get all four wheels/tires into the trunk of a 124, so I take
them to the tire shop in the back of the van. The ML would also work, but I
haven't needed to buy tires since I bought it. I did take the van's
I find that when I torque to factory specification, 110nm I believe, the lug
wrench is quite sufficient when it comes time to remove a wheel.

I just use a 1/2 drive impact rated socket and a 2 foot bar, then jump on

Exactly! I only need the breaker bar with the cheater pipe when I get a
new-to-me used MB. Seems no one else bothers to torque the lug bolts. I take
the wheels off and haul them to the tire store for new tires, work, etc.
rather than let them touch the lug bolts.

Don't you mean that you have a talk wench telling you you're turning it the
wrong way, and setting it to the wrong torque?
You shouldn't leave a clicker torque wrench set to other than zero.

I kept a 1/2 drive breaker bar with 17mm socket in the trunk for use as a
lug wrench with the Benz, but I switched to just keeping a piece of black
iron pipe to slip over the factory lug wrench. I think it was about the

Hehe. He probably did - to tighten them.
But to _remove_ them, a talk
