Larry,
If you have the plastic socket ends, try to replace them with metal. I was
able to get some new from MB after much EPC research, but I have also found
them at the junk yard on the 123 126 diesels. Note each rod has
left-hand threads one end, right-hand at other end.
Max Dillon,

I have also replaced a couple with metal. This one has one end
