S212 E350 PCV removal

[BlueRubber]

Hi all,

Got a facelift S212 E350 and need some help finding the correct tool to undo the E10 torx bolts for the PCV.
There isn't enough room for a socket and I don't think a ratcheting spanner would have enough room to turn.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Thanks,

What size drive are you using ie 1/2" or smaller 3/8"? I've used normal 1/4" drive hexagon sockets on some Torx

Have you tried unclipping and pushing that convoluted pipe to one side?

Even with a 1/4" socket drive and using a 5/16 socket there wasn't enough room.
But I think an E10 ratcheting spanner would work for the bolt that is towards the centre of the engine.
The outermost E10 is recessed meaning the E10 ratcheting spanner wouldn't work.
