Hi There
I have a 2014 B class se and today had the misfortune to run over a rock which removed a jacking point plug. having picked it off the road I found that the number stamped on was A002 998 9150. I can find a replacement ok which comes complete with a fixing nut and screw but on my broken one the screw holding it in position has snapped off. The question, is is it easy to get access to fit the holding nut.
Thanks in advance

From what I can see of the part number you posted, it's just a BIG version of a push pin rivet that you find all over a car. You push the legs of the jacking point through a hole in the sill & then you push a pin through the middle that expands them which holds the jacking point in place. So on your car, if the pin has snapped off, you just push the remnants through which will allow the jacking point to come off the sill. No nut or screw fitted ;)
