WTB a camshaft seal tool (119 589 00 14 00). This tool is NLA from the dealership so Im looking for buying a used one from someone in this forum.

Please let me know. Thanks!

This is one of the more worthless tools Mercedes has made. You shouldn't really need it. The seal fits in without any help from the tool. The tool you need can be made from copper fittings from the hardware store. Camshaft oil seal leak | M119 Engine

I agree completely. This tool is fully unnecessary.

The purpose of the tool is to avoid damage to the seal lip, as it slides over the sprocket shaft. If you are careful when sliding the seal over the shaft, it will be fine. Nice to have but definitely not required, as Jon & Gerry said.

Thanks everyone for your input!

This is the 3th time in 2 years I´ll be replacing the seals because they are leaking and since I´ve never used a tool before, I figured they were leaking because they weren´t installed properly. Since the tool is NLA, I´ll make sure to check that thread you shared to make my own tool.
