Hi All,
I need to replace some license plate mounting studs on my '98 CLK (the studs used on the trunk lid seem identical to those on my R129), but was told there is a special MB "insertion tool". Can I accomplish the same thing (expanding the base to secure the stud) by inserting and torquing a stainless-steel bolt until the base is properly expanded, or is the "tool" the only way to do this?
Thanks,
Paul
