My 1997 E300 TD is overseas and I need to re-connect the battery when I pick it up. Adjustable wrenches are too big to fit the space. Anyone know the size of wrench needed. I think it may be 10mm but I'm not sure.
If the connection is not properly tightened the damn alarm keeps going off.

Why not take a 10&12 with you. Hope this helps

While you're at it ...

I'd take a 13 too.

My 1991300CE has 13 mm nuts on the battery terminals.

Thanks again everyone. Looks like 13mm is the winner.
