Camshaft Locking Tool for Mercedes-Benz M272 / M273

This specialized tool is designed to lock the camshaft in position during service and repair operations on Mercedes-Benz M272 and M273 engines. It is essential when removing camshaft adjusters or replacing the timing chain.

---

Functionality

The tool prevents unintended rotation of the intake camshaft during disassembly, ensuring safe and accurate work. This is critical when loosening camshaft adjusters or performing timing-related repairs.

---

Technical Notes

• Camshafts feature both left-hand and right-hand threads (tightening torque: 145 Nm)
• Right cylinder head: loosen gears towards each other (exhaust camshaft with left-hand thread)
• Left cylinder head: loosen gears away from each other (exhaust camshaft with left-hand thread)

---

Important

✔ Always check the thread of the chain tensioner (M22x1.5) – it must be replaced to prevent timing chain over-tensioning

---

• M272
• M273
